Yay! Got Hunter working!
Speed controllers in, tested it on the garage floor, my dad let me ram him into his foot, and it hurt so our chances are good!
But the biggest relief has to be that i know that he can turn on the spot, as before we had to pich up a bit of speed before he would turn, as it is a skid-steer design (Like Tornado and Growler)
All we have to do know is test him out the back, and put a back on him.
Then prey that he doesnt come in over 13.6 kgs!

Tested Pug in my garage 2day, its running very well along with the lifter so Im dead chuffed, also everytime Jonno has had 2 help me get it working, he has told me what the problem was with it everytime, so I could be on the edge of being very good at making robots, who knows?:wink:

We finally finished Tidal Wave 2 and took it to Nottingham where it was absolutly rubbish, the flipper had hardly any power and the drive was really slow.

Im sure that the flipper problem could be solved by taking the ram apart to see why it kept sticking but the drive system really needs a new speedo so that the motors can be run at 24 volts.

If the flipper doesnt improve though then plans are already in place for Tidal Wave 3 or maybe even an axe which I have been planning for a while.

yeh do the axe flippers are getting boring, and you have so many

Huunter was going to be an axe, but testing the axe the axe broke itself, but i might use it in a future design!

If U have an axebot in the future Matthew, take care coz they can be dangerous unless U know what ur doing. Also thoughts for a name for a future axebot to join ur army, what about Hunters Gun?
