Ah it's been too long since I built a robot using windscreen wiper motors, seeing these pictures makes me want to make one again :)
Nice work Mart.
I, like Joey, have no idea what those wheels were originally for so I, like Joey, am going to go with some sort of belt conveyor :P
Actually these are rubber boat rollers!

I used windscreen wiper motors for my first robot but untill I tested it I did not know that they go fast one way and slow the other. :blush: so my robot was very slow and it was very hard to go in a straight line.
Pretty good mate.
Another 6 more robots and youll have an army :P
If you look at my robot, u see, that i put the motors in the robot so that they spin in the same direction, so the speed is same. Transmisson is geared up too. 24t sprocket on wiper motor and 12t on the axle.Quote:

...that is possibly one of the best things I've seen :) are you sure you can't add more chains to the tracks and give it some armour? It'd be fantastic to see in combat...
(yes, I do like tracked robots, how did you guess :P)
wow I wish I had the time/money/brains too build something like that :!:
Time- 5+2(tracks) hours/ Im sure yhat you could find 15£... :rofl: I found most of the parts free. / no brains needed, everything is on the picture! :proud:Quote:
