Still trying to optimise the 4 bar design, so started watching videos of Biohazard online. That thing has a seriously good reach, but struggling to make out the ratios.
So I emailed Carlo on a whim and he replied within minutes (how cool is that?) telling me the bar ratios and giving some advice, top chap!
Wow! I was worried it wouldn't be able to turn itself back over!Originally Posted by PJ-27
Could you let us all know the ratios? I am on my 6th attempt and I am still able to make large improvements with the force, though it is beginning to level out.
@Marco
Hey no worries! The lengths keep changing so I'll PM you what I finally settle on, but only do it if you have time, don't go out of your way.
Just seen this, PJ rather than trying to look at Real Robots Magazine - you're more than welcome to come take a look at Storm II's mechanism as you're in East Anglia
sorry man, not going to lie completly forgot about this. Will try to get round to it today
I think Ziggy self rights just through shear force!
If you're making a Pneumatic 4 Bar then something like Ziggy would be more appropriate, an upward flick motion, linear rear leg and long front.
Biohazard is more of a tip over motion.
That would be awesome! Why email a guy in America with the US' most successful electric 4 bar, when the UK's most successful electric 4 bar is just down the road!?
I'll PM you.
PJ I know for a fact that the UK's most successful 4 bar no longer exists. I miss Griffon.
Who?

Meet Griffon, successor to first war finalist Cunning Plan. Managed to lift Sergeant Bash but not over turn it. Had a shot at Killalot before Wheely Big Cheese too.
