Thanks, output shaft is 20mm stainless steel rod- I think I will have to support it at the far end but not sure what wheels I'm using yet so if I don't use much of the shaft then I may get away with it.
Both the gearbox and ram look great, nice work!
Just wondering, is it acceptable to have a mechanical linkage to activate the dump valve? Eg. You have to pull on a piece of wire to open the dump valve? Or pull on a lever connected with linkages?
As long the dump can be activated by hand.
I hope so as my dump valve is essentially a safety/pressure release valve, operated by a cable. I think it should be fine as long as I dont get my hands inside the robot or remove any access panels.Originally Posted by Max
The piston and rod weigh 700 grams- do you think that's ok?
And here's a picture:
Should work fine. On the other hand, the rod is a tad narrow to my taste.
But that's my own idea.
Thanks Mario, I'll bear that in mind.
Just before I order some batteries- how many fights should I expect at an event, assuming there are 2 shows? I'm getting SLAs so won't be able to charge them during an event.
Why can't you charge them during an event?
If you don't drop out due damage, expect 3 fights at least.
meaning, with your drive, @12V, 30ah+. And that's a tad on the low side.
