Team Hell/GDH build diaries

Hey folks.

Long time no post, so here goes:

Satanix has had a few minor alterations to combat the overheating issue, and it seems to have worked, so Satanix is running fine.

Hell's Angel's axe system has been built, just awaiting a new seal because it doesn't return very cleanly, as you can see in this video:

Cabrakan 3 is still in parts, however I will be paying a visit to tom armitage in november to get started with the frame, hopefully getting the project kicked started.

Ants: All in good working order, and I'm currently rebuilding my 2nd drive all day robot, Kill-a-chav.

That is a VICIOUS axe, Dave!

Just a little update:

after 1 and a half days in Mario's (Maddox) workshop, Hell's Angel went from being a suitcase full of bits to an almost complete robot.

Its in need of some more panels and all wiring up, but the main hardwear is in there. Big thanks to Mario for all his help and expertise on this.

Looks vicious! Any test vids of the axe?

Not yet. I need to rig up the electrics so I can fire it. I could do it with a battery but I would rather fire it by remote! :P

Very nice. Reminds me of The Judge. :D

Looks brilliant David. I remember it in its early incarnation way back in 2007, nice to see it almost complete finally :)
What's the thickness of the axe arm and head?

double quick exhaust valve eh? i like your style 8)

looks great dave

Jamie: seems a long time ago :P. it's 8mm thick grade 5 titanium, kindly welded by mike H Macey.

Jonny: wish I could take credit, the double QEVs were Mario's idea.

if this is attending whitwick, i really need to change my lid....

its only 8mm hdpe, thinking of changing it to 10mm polycarb
