Hi to all.
New featherweight build ..... 1 of 3 i intend to do
4x 12v drill motors (argos and homebase)
20mm hdpe and rg1000
at the moment 4 homemade wheels
i'm intending to have a large scoop on the front powered by an actuator so it can self right and turn thing over
Interesting , looks very solid
Indeed, looks like a tank
Nice wheels!
lovely!
dose anyone have have a good idea on how to build an actuator or a good place to get 1
ebay is your best bet or there is one in the for sale section
an easy way to do it yourself is to get some threaded rod and put that in a drill motor with the chuck put back on.
please say your robot name is a futureama refference
got an actuator mech (9.6v drill and threaded rod tube thing hard to explain) the threaded rod needs to be welded to the drill output then it's good to go. if interested i can put a picture up in here
the name is partly a futurama reference lol
and thanks jonny you've given me an idea I've got sme break pipe connectors from ebay i was going to insert into some wheels but i can use 1 and weld come thread into 1 end and then screw it onto a drill and put a bolt through the shaft to stop it coming off
here is 1 of the wheels I've modified to fit on the drill motors, i have used a break pipe connector i found on ebay and opened the bore of the wheel out to 13.5mm and force the break pipe connector in.
looks awesome so far
