looks good. Are you going to swap out the rs550 motor on the Linac for a brushless motor (like what Rory did) to get more power and speed to it? As at the moment its looks rather slow or was that due to running a low charged battery
Rory's solution would be ideal certainly, but given what would be required to set it up, it's just too low on my priority list for the near future. The test above is at full power, and while it is slow, I've tried to design the grabber mechanism around it, so that it will have a far shorter travel time to be effective. The only times I would need to extend it completely is either to self right, or to showboat. It would be slow, amd would certainly leave me vulnerable, but at least it means that I wouldn't be in a situation where I couldn't self right at all. A linac like Rory's is an upgrade I would love to implement, but at least for now I'm more concerned with getting the rest of the machine in a working condition at all.
