Built this remote control combat robot with Power Functions elements for a competition. Thanks to some fancy gearing, the spinning disc weapon spins at approximately 1500 RPM. There’s also some rubber band suspension which keeps the front wings flat to the ground.
And there’s a (slightly rushed) video for you to enjoy:
Cool but minotaur was a better battlebot.

Wow, 1500 RPM is mind blowing. Plus it just looks really cool. How did you gear it to that speed?
Looks like something out if Power Miners.
I approve.
That’s awesome. Love it.
Huh… Impressive.
I know nothing about calculating gear ratios, but it goes from a 36-tooth gear attached to the XL motor into a 12 tooth gear, then from a 24 tooth gear attached to the 12-tooth’s axle into a 16 tooth gear via a chain.
Thanks everyone for the positive reviews!
