my whole system is now working, its now just a case of welding my supposts in my shell at the weekend, making my mounts and putting it all in :)
forgot to add my power light so i tried to add that but today was just not my day and i added it in the wrong place so it is only on with the link out :lol:
ill have to change that at the weekend. also, getting the final welding done on tuesday by a local company so i should have all my electrics inside the shell by next weekend, the its the job of ding my claws which will tak a week or two then just adding the graphics and the varnish to hold them all on. so give me a month and ill be ready to unleash hell :twisted:
got the finaly welding done today, now all i need to do is get the base and lid mounted and altered slightly (nothing a blow torch and sone spare hdpe cant fix) and then get the mounts made. then its just a case of getting everything inside since the system already works :)
got the lid and base mounted yesterday, only a couple of minor alterations needed but it should be running by tomorow, i dont see why not but if not then for use next weekend :)
did a test at the weekend with temp mounts, it kinda worked, but the wheels need making larger so ill do that thursday and ill post a video up of it once its working, give it a week or two and i should have everything working in its perminent place (minus claws) then i can hjave some fun driving it and focus on getting my cash for mayhem :)
added a extra layer of tyre around to bring them upto 110mm which gave me good clearence. i was using the tempory mounts so it was all over the place but once i have my proper mounts made ill get a video up but im happy with the speed, its very quick. now i need to learn how to drive the thing :)
got my proper mounts made but i need to add some casters (thats thursdays job). once i have done that i feel it will be in a state good enough to let onto the forum :)
After dropping off the grid for a week i have no progress at all!
As is always the way, when you surface again I can't to robot stuff for the next couple of weekends. The next weekend I can do stuff on my bot is the start if summer, but ReAvenger has come a long way
We also want to welcome Ceri Jenkins from Team Psychostorm Robotics into out new alliance 'Robot Avengers'
It's complex but we are now a team, but we are also are own sub-teams to keep our own individual identity
been ages since i wrote here, got loads done, all the links are soldered in and everything is in place now. its all working... well... it was still my crap soldering gave way but it worked. now to get the claws designed and welded, ive not been looking forward to this :lol:
