[Gabe01]

4 wheel drive, with one motor each side offset

Looks really interesting

Aluminium, hdpe, drill Weapon(posh), ordered

after a supplier of hardox

and waiting for Ewan to get some actuators in stock

then i can start the build.

Is it the 100mm's you're after? They should hopefully be back in stock in 10 days, along with 150mm's and 200mm's. Looking forward to seeing how the drill weapon works out, done effectively I'm sure one could eat through a few of the plastic machines.

Hi I was after the 100mm's but now you have mentioned others, I maybe interested in them, could i get the specs for the others i.e. length when retracted and when fully extended, I imagine widths etc will be the same as the others.

The diagram here should help http://www.gimsonrobotics.co.uk/GLA_lin ... tions.html

Thank you Ewan, does this diagram just show the 50mm stroke or the 100 as well, i maybe being thick . are the others of a similar size, I reckon i might like the 200 one.

I'm after a TX RX system, that two people can use, pistol grip for drive, hopefully plugged into a conventional stick for the weapons, any ideas?

the TX RX is also posted in the pistol grip thread, repeated here as its part of the construction diary

[ewan]

It applies to all of them, just replace 'S' with the stroke length. the 150mm and 200mm are the same style as well.

Not entirely sure about combining two transmitters, not something I've done before but I'm sure there'll be someone else on the forum who's attempted it, good luck!

[Gabe01]

thank you

As far as I'm aware, Dave Moulds runs his featherweight 360 with two transmitters. He uses a pistol-grip for the drive and has a DX7 (I think) connected via a lead with Kenny controlling the disc and self-righting arm. I'm sure if he sees this he'll provide more informative comments, but that's as much as I can offer I'm afraid.
