Adjusted the ESCs and gave it another drive test, seems a bit better but the batteries are going a bit flat so it's quite slow http://s921.photobucket.com/user/mrs...3a7dc.mp4.html
Main axe sprocket and mixer ordered today and axe motor will be with me next week courtesy of Mario and Dave Weston so expect an axe test video mid to late next week
I've now got a mixer in the robot and it all works fine but now it won't failsafe, I've tried rebinding but it hasn't worked, any help would be great
You still after a gyro for it? Looking great BTW, what axe motor you using?
I'll see how it handles when the mixer is all sorted and it's tested properly, and a 300 watt scooter motor
As i seem to be stripping bolt heads faster than i can put them in i've had to hastily order some m6 high tensiles (up from m5), the m6 bolts that i've tapped into the baseplate have given me no problems yet the m5 for the chassis strip so easily. Does anybody have any advice for removing the stripped m5s because they've stripped their heads still inside the chassis
Put a notch on their heads with a dremel or hacksaw or something and get them out with a flat head screwdriver.
Cheers Harry that worked a treat
Got my axe motor from Dave Weston last night who was kind enough to drive down to Birmingham to drop it off, however since the motor had no sprocket attatched I was planning on using an 8 tooth one I had lying around but the bore isn't large enough and I don't really have the right tools to widen it let alone drill and tap the boss for a grub screw. This puts me in a predicament as I don't have enough money to spare to get one from technobots and im not paying nearly 8 pounds from eBay for a 9 tooth sprocket which would have originally been used. So I don't suppose anybody has a spare one they don't mind parting with? Or would be kind enough to modify the existing sprocket with an 8mm bore and tapped hole?.
To be fair £8 is not alot, would cost that much nearly to post it too Some one and back again and then a drink for there time,if you have a drill and and bits a tap set is cheap.
