Looking very nice Swanny possibly could do wiith a bit more armour though :)
Nice Shane :)
What are the dimensions on that thing right now ?
wow, cool, completly different style of building and look to the previous envy should be cool when done
i see youve gone for the 2 bottles aiming backwards like in thor
keep us updated
Nice looking shane :)
Thats not aluminium is it ? Are the wheels going to stay external ?
Looks good all the same :)
looking abit beast esq and huge! keep the pics coming
I will do some measurements soon. i think the wheels are 900mm apart. Its not as big as it looks. It is only 5mm t6 ali but hey i am not building my robot to defend itself from a couple of hard hitters. if it gets damaged then i will fix it. Saying that there is a 10mm t6 flipper covering most of the front and 7mm ti will be bolted in places. NO HARDOX on this robot. The best thing about this robot it the enjoyment of building it :)
Looking funky Shane 8)
In a weird way, it sort of looks like Envy and Gravity 5 could be brothers or something, the fact that they're both flippers, have the long front wedges and have almost identical looking go-kart wheels and similar wheel-mounting locations. Hell, they could even be considered as having been 'born' together since they're both getting made at the same time. Then again, this could just be the hangover/sleep deprivation talking :)
Is that tube fixed in the middle there solely to add some rigidity to the bulkhead chambers on either side or is it going to double up as some sort of buffer tank??
