Anyone got any ideas for a dedicated self righter on a vertical crusher?
Had ideas involving high power servos and arms or drill motors with threaded rods etc but want to see what other ideas people have out there
Depends on the shape of the machine, does it not? Venom self-rights in a way that I doubt Cobalt will eventually, for example.
Got pics of the robot concerned? What are the weight and size constraints?
It's the 6wd crusher calumco was selling, was going to be the new pinsor before he sold it
There's an American robot that uses a huge servo to self right. It's blue and is like an invertible pushy bot, it was built by teenagers etc but I can't find where I've seen it. But there's something to do with if it lands on end it ends up beached so they made a linkage powered by a servo to shove it back onto its wheels.

Weight constraint is very little right now but would prefer it to be as light as possible, more weight for more hardox
Ah, I see!
Well I'd suggest a system that self-rights you sideways, Hypno-disc style, as it'll be easier both power needed-wise and stability-wise.
In fact, Dave already had to go through this with 360, might be worth finding his thread and seeing how he did it.
Maybe one of those big Comodrill type things with the huge reductions would be up to it.
id use a wire/cable that pulls when the claw goes down or up and then the self righter arm goes up so even when u dont need it it will activate but saves on weight
you could try having a arm that's linked in with the crusher so as the crusher goes down the self righting arm goes up ........... but a couple of powerful servos would probably be lighter

Leaning towards 2 of these attached to an arm or something? Or could one be sufficient, just though 2 so there was less strain on the servo as the stall is 17kg
