Hard Time's build diary

looks really good, if your going to kidderminster we need a friendly one on one to see how our bots have improved :)

I don't think I can get to Kidderminster, but I'm defiantly going to Worthing.

I've had a few problems with Laser and we are going to change the 1.2mm ali to 4mm steel on the lifter
we have also changed it from the Planet to the spektrim as the reciever has broken.
The Sabertooth is still being a pain by randomly spinning or going the other direvtion to what I tell it to do when i put the stick staright into full forward.Any Help?

As for Shadow wave we are going to buy a regulator and a 20oz main tank and a few pipes and valves to get the pneumatic system going.
We are going to run it on 14.4v with 2x 12v deWalt d907 via a scorpian XXL
Where can I get a 12bar PRV?
also which valve would you recommend out of these three?:

Those valves have very low flow rate

Thanks Alan I'll use that valve instead, but where can I get a solenoid to activate it?

anyone?
also what is the max pressure that the valve will take?

Max pressure is 7 bar

ohh dear.. I wont be able to use that valve :( back to looking at the valves above and maybe some burkets.

would any of these work?
