I have got the latest version of liftoff drawings in the final stages before the mods start taking place - parts started arriving as well, got the GR02's from Ewan, really compact compared the the Makitas I had before!

The basic design remains very similar, and I'm using the same platform - what's changing apart from the motors and pneumatic parts is the orientation or the ram. It will now be in a horizontal position rather than vertical. I've added a self-righting mechanism as I have moved the flipper hinge forward and I'm afraid it lost this ability it had before. I'm still a bit sceptic if the mechanism will work - if anyone could look into it from these pics and see something wrong or any place for improvement, I'm all ears!


General views : Front side.



Back side. Back cover I'm thinking about a polycarbonate panel, it would look really nice I think!



Top panels off - self righter linkage will be a nightmare I think



Flipper and self-righting mechanism in action...
