That's a fit gearbox. Did you make it yourself?

Hi Dave
Re the Gearboxes for the new Saint Mike Lambert made them for me.

As you can see the Kettlebot is smiling again I think one of the original motors was faulty to start with, but now all is well






As you can see some progress on Cherub, The lift motor is in place and working well the batteries fit and the drive seems to be ok to still loads to do but it is getting closer to completion.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever
I found this old picture of Saint I thought I would post it

I don't know if I have down loaded the picture ok on this new site it seems complicated. anyway I have done some work on Seraph to try to improve reliability there is a new link position fitted.

A good week end for robot building and repair,
Seraph
had a bit of an overhaul new brackets and tighten up the drive as well as a new link position.
Tron
had a drive fail in the last fight I didn't know till the end of the fight! it turned out to be the 2 small screws that secure the motor to the gearbox back plate, striped down refitted all good, has anyone had this problem with the drill motors? also I tried one of those RC car type TX's worked really well I think I will be keeping that.
Cherub
loads done on this one, it's so close to running again re-did the wiring for the 3rd or 4th time, I keep changing batteries or motors or speed controller positions!!

Over the week end I have been doing some bits on Cherub, all was going well until I tried to charge one of the battery packs, see if you can spot the problem

Terry who sold me the packs, was at pains several times to say there was a problem with one of the packs and supplied some spare cells for the repair, A good and honest man.

Some pictures of Cherub as it is now. I just have to do the rear armor upgrade to 5mm thick as 3mm the old one got bent!

A bit more on the robots today.
Saint
Sorted out some protectors for the batteries this worked well but the repaired Wotty won't work at the moment, I have tested the Tx and Rx and they are fine, it just wont recognize the signal from the Rx at the moment I'm sure I have done something stupid. Sent a message to Ian he will sort it out.

Cherub
One part of the robot build I really hate is painting! Goes off the brush on to me not a drop on the robot. then what paint dose land on the robot, takes weeks to dry!

Seraph and tron all good. looking forward to Burgess Hill.

Ooh, never really clocked your drive motor gearboxes before - they'd suit Scar beautifully! Don't suppose you've got any info on them at all? Just had a very quick browse through the old Cherub thread and can't see anything mentioned.
