my mags dont need more than 120 amps. Im a flipper not a shover. And the fact that I have bout 24 9Ah slas laying around and the chargers for them, is also sorta convincing. And with 11,2 kg for 24V 18Ah Im happy.

Wow, WJ, which version of AutoCAD are you using? :-)
I look forward to seeing it with slightly smoother sides and an extra dimension!

I dont know how to use autocad, or rhino, or whatever. This is one of the first designs I ever made of a robot. Normally I dont draw. I stack up the parts and weld them together. For Gravity 5, this will be the drawing which Im gonna build to.
It seems to be shorter than the previous versions :)
It is.
It is gonna be as long as it is wide. Previous versions drove very well, but turning on the spot was hard with a front end that long...
Nice beast!
Sounds interesting (and I wasnt being critical, WJ - Mike has banned me from designing with a CAD package - just amused). I genuinely look forward to the final robot, and thank you for the preview, however, er, sketchy.

Sketchy it might be, but just compare the result with this here sketch and see the remarkable resemblance :) Drawing this sketch is the same style as building my robots...
ok, another 3 hours of work in Gravity 4 : First part of flipper arm, buffertank fitted, hinges of flipper arm fitted.
