Hello all, got an announcement regarding applications for the Rapture Gaming Festival.
The organiser has asked me to give them an idea of potential numbers and wants to allow some of their own...
Yeah, wasn't immediately keen on the handheld face shield, much rather have something that allows me to handle the welder properly. Thanks for the heads up, will see if I am brave enough to give it a...
Sounds like a cheap and cheerful welder. Mine is a second hand one from Gary, which cost him £50 from Makro about 12 years ago. Surprisingly still going strong, used it for all the welding on Coyote,...
Happy new year to you too Sam!
As far as I understand it, its a Inverter Welder (ref: https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-inverter-welder/p/085506226214500) which having watched a few videos on it,...
It isn't currently permitted under the currently published FRA rules. 459MHz is in all weight classes but not 868-915MHz. I don't know if the FRA are planning to permit this, it'd need field testing...
Hi,

I've tidied up the wiring loom somewhat so that the drive ESC, the fuse and the removable link all sit on a HDPE board, which also forms the...
Wow! Thank you for the very high praise :D
Yes, FeatherDozer (I still hate the name) would probably be better as a low, 4WD lifter, but I wanted a design as compact as possible and look a bit...
I'm really impressed by the creativity of this design. Usually the "way" to make a pushing robot is 4 wheel drive or a low angled wedge. I've seen Featherdozer fight in several videos and been...
Hey Theo! Look forward to seeing your projects unfold over hopefully not that many months, and getting duffed up at Robodojo by the results later this year.
As for your historical "bodged" robots,...
Hi Theo
When I first started reading your post I thought Oh No ! another Roboteer throwing in the towel but
then I read on and found quite the opposite.
You are a great ambassador for the fighting...
Good evening all!
Feels like ages since I've done a full write-up, but here we go!
I think it goes without saying that 2020 has been a little bit of a bust for all of us robot people. With...
And found out a hundred or so things that I’ll definitely be doing differently for the next one 😂
definitely makes the stress of not knowing things/ doing things wrong worth it at the end!
