Pretendobot Crusher Edition:
Very neat. How far from completion?
Figure there's a 50% chance it'll be done by Maker Faire Atlanta the weekend of October 4th.
Test of the crusher attachment on Nyx. I'm not cranking it up to full force as I don't want to risk damaging the armor on Spanky. What this video does show is how the floating arm functions. The goal of the arm design was that it'd be able to deal with a range of chassis heights without lifting any of its own wheels off the ground in the process.
That is extremely cool.
Spent today working on the hammer. Running at <30A per half of the mag (55-60A max current) it was nearly able to punch through 1/8" 5052 alu. Initial functionality tests are going to be done at lower power just to make sure everything's tracking properly. Competition settings will be 65-70A limit per half, so in the neighborhood of 130-140A.
Decided to be productive last night.
All that hardcore engineering and then...googly eyes.. lol.
Any film of the axe? Looks hella cool.
Going to do some initial testing first at low power, then turn it up to competition level for the videos.Originally Posted by harry hills
