Ok, I was thinking of these for section headings in each section.
Motors and drive
Batteries
Speed controllers and wiring
Radio gear
Materials
Weaponry (possibly a separate thread for pneumatics and hydraulics in HW's)
I was going to have pics and links relating to the various items therein (pics of a drill motor and a link to the Argos page for it)
yeah the above chapters would be fine.
8 chapters Jamie is a lot of info but if they are in sections (ie small videos) then people will watch what they want. And if at some next event someone can film a tech check of a bot then that would be a good video also to add.
Been giving this a bit of thought and, with the number of weekends left until April (roughly, since a full-combat event is likely but no date confirmed) and me being busy on a few of them, filming a comprehensive build guide and completing the robot in time would be a tight squeeze, and I'm currently enjoying being able to build without rushing anything.
So my plan is: build the robot as planned and compete with it then, once there's a quiet spell, pull it all apart and rebuild it along with a video tutorial detailing various aspects (as suggested or requested).
Will, if you're happy to spare a few minutes during some down-time at the next feather comp, I could film you doing a tech check on this tutorial robot (and perhaps a flipper/axe/rambot, to show the variations) and edit it together to make a short guide for the forum/homepage.
If all goes to plan, and I will do my darnedest to make it so, I will be going to the FW champs. I have an HD camera and several years of practice with Sony Vegas (a professional editing software). I'd be very happy to help in any way I can!
y not just use these, ( not mine, but very good) http://teamorr.com/how-tos/how-to-build ... ght-robot/
Just read your post Jamie and I'd be happy to film a couple of tech checks for the guide
Excellenty, thanks Will.
