First Time Bot Builder/Buyer

ahhh no 1 is about now :sad: ohh well guess im the only nocturnal creature here?

nope its nearly 5 i dont sleep more then 2 hours lol and im up get me on msn anthonyratcliffe@hotmail.com

i used a magnet for my ball bearings

I would say I was nocturnal but I went to bed right after posting that :lame:

Good idea with the magnet Ant, never thought of that before

you know on drill motors theres a little bit of in out movement on the threaded shaft? well on one of the motors when you pull the shaft you can see the bearings inside the gearbox. still safe to use?

had the gear box appart and its the bearing in the end thats gone but imma still use it anyways its only going in my test frame. ohh and its easy to get those ball bearings out by opening up the gearbox and just pushing them out it was just grease holding them in.

got a picture on profile of my robot in current stage.Take a look:)

cool u do it all yourself?

Yer ive been doing it over the past week, nearly finished the frame work, just need to complete to flipper arm. Finished exams today so now i can crack on with it:)

i just finished some early GCSEs so i know have a week or less than to get my bots ready for sat

alex, do you use pneumatics in your robots?
