So this is one of my heavy designs for Sabretooth, tweaked and resurrected, now to be built as a feather, using a lot of Gimson items!

Coolafe g-rafe

Grabbing self righting claw, driven by another Gimson actuator
Battery
Turnigy 5000mAh 5S 20C Lipo Pack 18v
sounds awesome, good luck getting that effective and in weight
Its only 310mm long and 250mm wide so i reckon it should be fine, we will see, looking right on weight at the moment.
have you started any construction yet
I am just amassing the parts I have the motors and wheels, speed controller, the rest is coming next week. I am cleaning out the workshop (not touched since last series of robot wars). Then I will start with a mdf prototype to test the drive and self righting. I'm off to the alps end of next week so work will begin in earnest beginning of Feb. I will start posting some of the wooden constructions for feedback.
Parts so far
cool, is the big black t shaped thing a peice of drainpipe :shock:
its a piece of hdpe waterpipe, freshwater rather than drain, it will be welded to the other bits on orderOriginally Posted by jonny
