Robo Challenge - Predator

Project - Crusher

So here is the custom ram I made a while back with hte piston and rod. Just need to finish the ram top cap and then its back to KanFlu for pressure testing on their rig.

Predator

Lots of progress made this week! Really pleased with how Predator is coming along. I am going to ask the moderator to rename this thread Robo Challenge - Predator so its a little less confusing sifting through the 2 robots and then create a new thread for the crusher.

So here is the new head block for the scorpion brushless motor. really pleased with the finish.

Scorpion brushless motor with a custom 10mm shaft and square end for slotting the drive gear on.

This is a prototype drive motor and battery mount machined from 10 mm polycarb. Im trying to get some flex into the mount which will help with the suspension

New head mount in place, new drive mount and batteries in place.

close up of the drive motors in place, first robot to have active suspension? will need it :)

Looking real smart can't wait to see it in action

Thanks dave!

The arms aren't finished yet but we gave it a shake down test last night on half voltage which went really well. First test at full voltage will hopefully be at the DRG event this weekend. Shame I dont have another week as it could be finished then. Once its tested on full power we just need to make and fit the tooth ring, the arm mech and the armour.

Decided to go brushless in the end eh?

Fancy donating that Astroflight motor to Team Bitza? :wink:

(Can't buy things new, not in our ethos)

I'll pay you back in sound.

That's looking awesome James. Really looking forward to seeing it finished and running.
