Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

[Gabe01]

So here is an update, you may well think is he actually going to finish a robot. I have been on a continuous process of designing, testing and redesigning. Along with watching a lot of Youtube videos. I am still taken with the drill idea, but have worried a lot about armour toughness. Robots so far that have sent me back to the drawing board are 720 and Cobolt! Recently another person posted about the gauge of Calor gas containers. This inspired my latest shed time here are the results. Needless to say I'm very pleased with the results.

The weak point of those ground skimming wedges will be the bolt connection. I would recommend welding them to the axle if possible along with the bolt?

Interesting looking machine though!

I agree with you Gary, I have ditched that idea. I'm going for a tougher package.

[Gabe01]

like so, this is the latest drill body idea. tough and all welded together.

I've been busy and I'm actually nearly finished on one of the robots

this is so cool! so it's a pneumatic flipper? (sorry if this is a stupid question!)

[Gabe01]

Yes it is! in fact there are two robots under construction. I'll be starting an underground Robot pit fighting thingy, here on the farm.
