hey tom is it ok if you could do me a video of you driving maxus as i would like to see it in action instead of piccys
(btw you subscribed to my youtube channel darkelfproductions and yours is called tomhazard :mrgreen: )
Tony theres some videos on it from a robotslive event on youtube somewere. I think someone got a video of it when i tryed it on 36v a123's which tom you still need to sort out and finnish the lifting arm lol im gona steal maxus back.
Not been that active on the forum for a while now and not taken a robot to an event in ages. Been busy with work and stuff so not had much time to do anything.
Iv been posting pics on facebook of the little robot iv been building but thought id post a few here. Im going to finish off this beetle/kilo/gunt then start work on the new featherweight. Ill try to keep the build diary updated when I start on the new feather. The new feathers going to be just a 13.6kg version of Maxus with a 4 bar lifter.

I milled the top on the solenoid valve to neaten it up a bit.

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...w/IMG_1702.jpg
The Internals of the valve have changed alot so hopefully the robot works alot better now.
I dont have any pictures of the robot from when it was built up and driving before the minor accident it had. But here is how the bulkheads and system sat before its self destruction.

Here are the new bulkheads.

The new bulkheads may require a bit of machining to reduce the weight of them,
Here are the new bulkheads in comparison the the old ones.

I will try post more pictures tomorrow if I make any progress.
How powerful is Flow!? Can't believe it ripped apart it's bulkheads like that. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

How do you plan on transferring drive from the pulley to anything else? I've got a similar problem where my bearing takes up all the 'meat' off the boss, so there are little mounting options.
Flows power depends on the pressure I run it at and also I can restrict the flow now.
As for The Gimps pulley mounting, Theres room in that pulley for fixings. It bolts directly to the robots shell.
System mounted in the bulkheads

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...w/IMG_1809.jpg
Made a new pin for the arm to pivot on and fixed the arm in place.

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...w/IMG_1814.jpg
http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...w/IMG_1815.jpg
Fixed baseplate to the bulkheads and fitted the drive system and battery box
http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...w/IMG_1817.jpg
Ill upload a few pictures when I have done a little more. Got to take the system out and drill the buffer tank for another pneumatic fitting. The system is going to be pretty trick when its done. When you see all the plumbing in this robot you will be thinking WTF?
the depressing part is that i have to fight this :shock:
looks class
Looking at it I assume it's a shuttle valve? Does the shuttle seal with orings or is it just a soft material?
I wanna see at least one FP flip! Maybe at the end of the comp though.....
if it still works...
Looking good Tom. What are your plans for armour? I'm struggling to visualise what sort of shape it could take.
Ill post a pic of it tomorrow, The armour is in the background of a few photos but its hard to see.
