Metanoia-heavyweight

hiya, this will be a build diary for the building of my first heavyweight robot metanoia
- today i took the floor section off and cleaned out most of the dust, rust and other assorted crap, counted the bolts that i will need, about 60 :?
some pictures:

Nice one, is it wooden armour?

At least i found out were Metanoia went :)

the armour is hdpe and polycarb. this was my first heavy but i sold it to harry so hopefully he can give it a new lease of life! the wheelchair motors and sla's i sold you tony came out of it :)

10mm hpde and 4mm steel armour :proud:
4mm hdpe base though :?

Ahhh I see :) . Those parts should be in Scar in time for its unveiling at Edinburgh. Is 4mm HDPE for a base not a wee bit on the thin side :? . My feather is double that :lol:

yes, its waaaaaaay too thin, cant weight to fight thor :twisted:

I suppose as a flipper you wont spend too much time with the base on show so its not that bad.

more pictures!

harry you look like a serial killer in that last photo :lol: by the way we had to transport metanoia by pushing it on a trolley for 2 miles from my house to harrys :crazy:

Haha nice, sounds like a hi tech solution. Did you take any videos of it when it was still running? Interested to see how fast there motors and SLAs i've now got will go when they're in a robot :lol:

i remember the motors gave 10 mph on the wheels that came with them so if you still have the wheels you can measure the width in inches, divide 10mph by that and you'll get the speed/inch. you can them measure the wheels your using now and work out how fast you'll be able to go. the sla's should be ample to power the bot for a fight or two. i has several videos of tests and stuff but i've lost the bloomin sd card that they're on! :evil: :evil:

thats always the way :proud:

Ahh yeah I know it will be dependant on the diameter/circumference of the wheel but just wanted to see it in action anyway :D. The wheels I am using with them are pretty much the same, maybe just slightly smaller.

Did this use to be one of the various leveler 2 bots? They look very alike if it's not

yes, probably

Then again, it may be formerly GWAR?

it was Gman but could have been leveler before that, i don't know
