Team Saint Robot Builds

If that is classed at a single degree of freedom, we've gone mad. I prefer to think of it as 2 separate planes rather than 2 DoF. If this was a 3D CAD model, for example, the legs are moving in both the X- and Y-planes, whereas something like Anarchy, Pilgrim or Spiderbot has legs that only move in one plane, or 1 DoF (as barmy as it seems that Pilgrim doesn't count as a walker).

I'd be surprised if anyone argued that this only has one DoF. It's a great build so far and kudos to Craig for tackling it.

I'm just using them at sub 50psi so they won't need certification under the FRA rules,

I have tried to pressurise them up to 100psi but only got to about 85psi with no problem at all (the compressor could not get much higher).


The way of fixing the copper pipe to the bottle was quite simple these bottles have an opening that is just a little smaller than the 22mm tube so with Gorilla glue or similar, I heated up the copper tube with a heat gun smeared glue inside the bottle opening and gently pushed the bottle over the copper tube and left the glue to set. they are not coming apart!


once you have a standard plumbing tube to connect to all kinds of unmodified fittings become available. I am thinking of having about 5-8 litres of storage for the weapon and the transmission. should be enough for a Feather.

Craig, you know gorilla glue reacts to set properly with water? If you use water you can set a guitar neck under pressure from strings with it. I'm sure you know, it's great without water but it's sooooo much better with!
