Flipper looks great, nice to see those with spinners turning towards the more harmless robot variety :lol:

Facet? (suggestion by Kody, not myself ;P)
(I do have a 40 x 160mm 10 bar cylinder that might be of use to you with pivots, clevis things, and other stuff?)
Sweet... A mini granny's revenge :) lol... A mini chaos 2 would be pimp.... Dont go putting 1000psi through a 10 bar cylinder mate, stick with the one you got or speak to Kenny or Tom Armitage nicely lol
Haha, nah don't worry. I'm sticking with low pressure 10 bar stuff for starting out. Negotiating a Trev reg for one of the bottles :)
Some interesting and fun guesses being made.
And I'm still a spinner lover at heart, just fancy a new challenge :wink:
Joey, that cylinder sounds like a good mix between bore and stroke that could fit the design quite well. Is it something you'd consider selling? If so, any chance you could weigh it pretty please? :kiss:
Jamie - it is, being as it's 3:25 in the morning I'll have to weigh it tomorrow, but get on MSN if you can then and we can discuss pricing ^^
flippers are crap Jamie, I'm disappointed...... :sad:
So am I :lol:
Although I give you licence to shoot me or something if I ever revert to building a box!
It will complete the clan nicely as well once sat alongside a spinner, a grabber/crusher and (eventually) an axe 8)
First I try to build a flipper, then you want to build one. Ram envy is a terrible thing...
Nice to see that layout though - I've always wanted to see a Steg 2 replica...
...which is what yours will look like when you run out of space! :lol:
Update
Wow, for once I actually manage to do what I say I'm gonna do!Quote:

The current setup is as follows:
4 x MFA 15:1 motors from Technobots with
4 x Banebots 60mm diameter wheels
1 x Hyperion 3S lipo pack (11.1V)
1 x Scorpion XL
The XL is just a temporary controller until I get something more beetle-specific. Running on that setup, it is pretty nippy for its size. Currently weighs 650g which leaves just over half the weight allowance for the rest of the chassis/armour and its weapon, so it's gonna be tight! May have to look at ditching two motors and running belt drives but I'll worry about that if the issue arises.
A short video of it driving about:

And I think some Loctite may be in order :lame:

As with my LP flipper, this is going to be a replica of a popular Robot Wars heavyweight. See if you can guess this time; the name's probably a bit of a giveaway :)
And just to say, driving it about is so much fun 8)
Pussycat?
