ok so mabye i do have a foot fetish
As a side issue, i notice you've got no holes in your socks. Where do you buy them cos the only ones i've found which dont get holes in really quickly are for marks and spencers and they're really expensive.Quote:

I get lots of holes in other things (mainly due to keeping pet rats) but never socks for some reason.
What the hells happening to this thread? Ok we know calums a bit of a freak anyway so i expected it from him.
Are you using the ram as double acting?
Asda socks :) there awsome.
Calum- in reply to your PM no i wont sell you my old socks to sniff.
you should all go tk max for your socks, all designer and pretty cheap
i get mine from primark
Yeah he is, one stroke pairs the socks up and the return folds them together ideal for putting into a drawer :lol:Quote:

Dont see the point in designer socks.. rather spend the money on decent trainers.
damn it dave, thought i'd at least ask:P
you've gotta think thou, whats the robot going to end up like if the person who's making it can't get dressed properly?? u put ur trainers on the wrong feet aswell when its too dark to see dave?
nah put em on my hands and walk out the door doing a handstand.. driving is awkward.
£5 for like 4 pairs and designer
i know primarks cheap but cant beat that
wen u say designer whats on them exactly? i jus wear white sports socks - nice n soft lol
they have a few coloured lines on aswell, that make them designer?:P
its around 2 quid for 3 or 4 pairs from primark. Designer? Just means that you have some other muppets name on your clothing.
So let me get this right, just because some of us like designer socks you're suggesting we're all a bunch of muppets???Quote:

Tempted to sell 360, Getting a bit bored of this hobby now to be honest.
Will be sold in a working order, when i get around to re-wiring it, if i sell it, its going as a bulk lot including the robot, spare lipos, chargers, power supply, dx3r, dx7, all spares included.
Ive got reservations as to who it goes to... its a seriously dangerous machine and i don't want anyone hurting themselfs.
PM me if you have a decent offer.
Go on Andy you know you want to :rofl: :rofl:
Not that I wouldn't like it but that 'decent offer' bit puts the kibosh on it!! :rofl:
Got a fiver on me, that enough?
Seriously though, surprised to see this mentioned but having gone through the boredom stage myself (mainly with the building aspect, still love the competing/socialising side of things) I know where you're coming from. Hope it goes to a good home if you decide to sell, it's certainly got plenty more carnage to dish out.
Andrew- as i said before i have reservations as to who it goes to. If sold it would only go to a roboteer who has an engineering background and has constructed machines them self.
..who owns it is more important to me then how much people are willing to pay.
That comment was tongue in cheek mate but you are absolutely right in what you say about it. It was only Clive being Faceacious that bought me into this thread :D :DQuote:

Pneumatics and electronics are not an issue because we have the skills for that in the team. For spinners we would need to learn about it before even considering something like that, which as you say means building it. Plus..................big old li-po's, it's ok blowing a 100mAh lipo up on the kitchen table because it has no significant fire load, just causes a bad case of brown underpants and leaves a scorch mark but we don't and wont be running the big uns cos there's kids in our team and people who like 'to be helpful' :rofl: :rofl:

(The only person who has ever called me Andrew was my mum, swiftly followed by a good hard slap :rofl: :rofl: )
nothing done on robots recently, beetle or fw...
But me and ed have decided to enter the power tool drag racing ride on competition, so ive bought this as a frame
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT
Thinking about powering it by 4 chainsaws or cut off saws :) whatever i see on ebay next and buy on a whim lol, dont want to spend to much this year, just want to make one to ride about on...if the kid in the picture comes with the bike then i think ill get him to ride it in the competition..think im abit to gravitationaly challenged to do any good :D
another pic here; YES ITS BIG :proud:
http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/a7b02060.jpg
got abit of space cleared out in Eds garage to work on it and im currently in talks with someone who might be doing me a good deal on 6off 58cc chainsaws :)
as soon as the engines arrive ill get the sprag clutch starter ive designed made up through work and finnish designs on my super race KE clutch idea so ed can get on with it at work :)
Also got given a mini moto petrol tank, fuel filter and top fairing today to use.
The starter motor (black and decker lawn mower motor) can be seen under the seat- its the round thing..to give an idea of scale its about the size of a bosch 750 :rofl:
must have been a squeze through the letter box ay haha
mounted tank, got engines today ran them in and striped them down. think ed's going to get on with the engine mounts now but heres a few pics of them all in place..

http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/42c89fa8.jpg
(yes ones missing.. didn't strip it down yet because we want to measure the tick over and top speed of the engines before we strip it so we can work out gear ratios etc)
are they easy to start? I remember last event of this the one grant had took a while to get all the engines going
not to bad- im lazy though so im fitting an electric start :P
was going through my spare parts and old bits id forgotten about.. turns out i have enough spare parts to totally build my own drum roll style robot lol
Found a piece of titanium that fits perfect for the lid as well :) disc motor, speedo and gearbox are 360's old bits.. armour is 360s anti spinner armor i carnt use anymore because it weighs too much.. drum is something i made at college years ago when i was bored...
Wont bother building it but liying it all down was kinda funny...

Drum bot eh? Send me the bits and I'll build it for you :wink: 8)
