Hi, i would like to know if this is suitible for a featherweight flipper?
http://www.justpaintball.co.uk/acatalog/Co2_Systems_.htmlhttp://www.justpaintball.co.uk/acata..._Systems_.html
I was looking at Co2 Bottle 20oz (with on/off and anti-syphon)would this work? Or wil i need any adaptors?
dont think you will need a 20oz bottle the 12oz is well enough you could even use 9oz. you wanna get in touch with mario hes the man you wanna be asking.
what size ram you using?
Yes its fine.
Youll need a pressure regulator with it.
where bouts do you get them filled with co2?
At an event or ask at your local paintball shop ..if you have one.
The CO2 filling issue is easy. Or you fill the bottle at the event, or at home from a storage bottle.
If the size is useable depends on the use. Some feathers can use the 12 or even 9 oz bottles.
In Hannibalito I or II we use the 12 oz bottle.
18 oz is possible too, used in Hellfire
The size of the bottle you will want depends on the ammount of gas your flipper will use/need.
Paintball bottles come in many sizes from 3.5oz all the way thro to 24oz.
How big is your ram, Daniel? What pressure will you use?
The ram has a 16cm stroke and a 2cm bore,(pic in profile) this is my first try at making a robot so im unsure as to what pressure would suit best, any advice would be very helpful.
isnt that the setup i sold you about 2 years ago with everything apart from the co2 bottle??
yes, ive been meaning to get it going but it just hasnt happend :sad: ive got loads of motors, speed controllers, raido stuff etc. Just never had the flipper parts sorted, now ive got a few extra quid i want to do it, waste otherwise, and now with more and more local events taken place i really want to get into it.
Pressure ratings are usually 10 bar.
You have a ram ...
Youll need a buffer tank together with a 5/2 or 3/2 valve (double acting OR single acting cylinder ) all rated @ 10 bar or more to go with your co2 cylinder,regulator and pressure relief valves one High pressure ( 1000psi) and one low pressure.
Make a weight guesstimatiion before buying everything .....you may find it difficult to get down to the 12kg limit.

do you have any more setups ready to sell kenny?:)
only a 10 tonne heavyweight setup which is too powerful!!! :)
daniel has a 5/2 high flow 3/8 valve which was in thor on robot wars, a festo buffer, regulator, ram everything part from the co2 bottle, just get a 9 or 12oz paintball bottle
was a good setup in testing got alpha bout 7ft in air
