The valve you are able to get from a place that I dont remember at the moment.
LOL!

Id say make the lifting arm scoop bit more scoopier/shallower. The front side panels could be extended forwards to be shallower too to help deflect spinners and protect the lifting arm? Looks like youve got a very decent weapon set up for a US ant!
Cant wait to see some vids when this goes into full combat
Now that the bot is almost done I am going to make a few different arms for spinners, wedges, and whatever. The arm that is on it now will be used for drum and vertical spinning bots. The armor sticks out front past the arm which protects it until the arm is under the bot. The armor is made from single pieces of Ti, getting more angle would mean more weight, which I don€™t think is necessary. The wedge arm will have some Ti forks like Wedgio has€¦ I still have 2oz to play with..
I got all 3 ants done today.
-Get-R-Done is 15.7oz and ready to rock!
-Get Stuffed, which for this event is really Get-R-Done #2 is also 15.7oz and ready to go. I tried a few different things on this version, a new wheel set up and no back wedge. I took a little inspiration from Fuzzy for the wheels here. I think they look cool and they seem to perform better than the regular wheels.

-Get Flippen is also done weighing in at 14.5oz. I will make a few different attachments, but I think how it is now will be how it will fight the majority of the time.

-All that is left to do is make some sort of fodder bot to take the place of pookie for this event. I might just use a small little Wal-Mart car for this.
Why is it the four bar linkage arm operates from the front ? I build K*bots and I can get a lot more force from firing from the rear bars. Ill put up a link in a little while to show you
what happened to pookie?
Pookie was sold to some little kid who offered more than I paid for it... So I figured it was a good deal :-p... I thought I told you that..?.. That is why I need another.
The ram shoots forward because I believe that is the best way... The ram fits inside the arm which saves alot of space. Where are pictures of how you do it?
go to http://www.kbotworld.comhttp://www.kbotworld.com and go down the page until you see a pic of a gold flipper throwing another up, or go to http://www.kbotworld.com/kbotworld%20top%2010%20Division%20M%20kbots%20Page %2014.htmhttp://www.kbotworld.com/kbotworld%2...ts%20Page%2014 .htm
and look at the top bot, thats currently the best 2 pivot(4 bar) flipper in kbots
Hmmm cant really make out the system very well... I should go check this out since the finals are in my home town.
Oh, cool, youre from Vegas ? Lovely city, been there before, I was at the last World Championship (Im the big guy in blue near the bottom holding the england flag). Ill see if I can get some better shots of the mechanism.
I would also like to point out that that same mech holds a kbot flip record. I kbot of 500g flipping a bot of the same weight 13ft forward (we couldnt measure the height)
