Gravity

Why give them credit for a 2 day build that ends in a whole bunch of suck ?

The original Gravity was a 2 day build in the pits that did quite well...


Ive send them an email :

Hi There, I am William Dijkstra, owner and builder of the robot Gravity, and owner of all its pictures as such.

Can you tell me why you stole one of the pictures of my robot ( http://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/4133.jpghttp://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/4133.jpg ) and put your own name on it ?

William

Gravity 5 will be built.

featuring a double independant co2 system, with 2 co2 bottles, 2 buffertanks, a 140x140mm full pressure ram and 4 1/2 inch burkert valves to fill that puppy :)

Fabulous news

Did you ever hear back from the guy who stole that pic of Gravity?

yeah, he was very sorry, didnt know his son stole the pic, and removed it and then continued to ask alot of questions about how the robot worked, and the size of it and stuff :)

Wooohoooooo :)

Collecting parts for Gravity 5 is well underway now. Wheels/motors/gearboxes done, 2 co2 bottles done, 2 litre ali buffertank in the making, ram done, new 2.4Ghz radioset done...
still needed: 3 burkert valves and a speedcontroller :)

Then its just piling up the parts and weld a robot around it....

Good job! :)

3 liter buffertank WJ.

Ah, I stand corrected ;)
Also ordered about 3.5 square metres of hardox.
Going the monocoque route again...

Gotta love hardox, eh WJ? :)
