just been up the workshop and rebuilt Merlins flipper. You aint going to hurt this one! Before it was 25*25*2 box, now its 25*25 SOLID steel! If you bend that we might as well give up :P

Alan,

How about its own flipping action bending its self? Or possibly snapping any welds?

Mute suffers from this problem as the momentum in the front flipper is trying to bend it... if you have added a lot of weight into your flipper you might have the same problem too.

Bear in mind that we are bending a laminate of 5mm stainless channel, 2mm stainless sheet, 4mm GR5 titanium sheet, and 4mm GR5 titanium T-section. Just food for thought

Last night we took the robot out of its box for some fresh air and noticed at one side the wheels were stiff. After closer examination we found that it was the motor. Took it apart and found that half a magnet was missing and the windings were black with a strong smell of burning :sad:

We think it was either the impact with Merlin or Storm II.

Anyone got a CIM 2 motor for sale? Our spare also has a chip out of the magnet coutousy of Iron-Awe.

Mark,

Have e-mailed you.

sorry alan for bending merlin, but i do like a challenge so i will give my best shot if you like

it wasnt due to it bending itself, when it bent up on saturday, it was due to a head-on-head with Big Nipper (weve watched the video back and you see it bend as we hit, may also be what took there motor out, as they bounce back 4 foot!). But Thor bent it back for us on the sunday, although bent a few other places as well!
