Another HW project I have been working on for some time, I Hope to make it into an electric lifter won't do much damage to other robots, but should be fun to drive something with a front and back; a top and bottom for a change as the Saint dose not really have that!

Looking evil, so far it reminds me of Switchblade from RW Extreme Destruction. :P

looks nicely built Craig, is the lifter going to be part of the wedge or come up and over the top and be by the wheels?

Thanks :D

You can see in this picture the bearings at the front with the large spur gear the shaft 30mm diameter will turn the lifting arms 360 degrees so it can be used to self right the robot and do tricks.
They may look a bit like horns :D

Another pic showing the basic shape and the lifting arm shaft position, and cardboard from a Pizza box :mrgreen:

Where do you get those gearboxes from ? I've seen them in tilly as well, they'd be useful for a robot like mine

Hi they came with a job lot i bought and have a 10:1 ratio. they are ok but i have supported the wheel drive shaft with a 30mm dia cast steel bearing block to prevent any dammage. :uhoh:

Most of the armour is done just a few bits to do :D

Jeez you're gonna have as much as andy now... :lol:

I don't think I will be taking two heavyweights, two featherweights and a mechaniod walker to every event; I may need a bigger van! :uhoh: :uhoh:
