and also about a week ago i did some to this, its the start of a 6 wheel drive feather runing off 2 drills that dave gave me a while ago, so i made spacers from hdpe and put a pair of motors in i've ordered wheels for it just waiting for them to arrive, won't be as good as the one hes doing, but i just want a box to have as a back up robot plus the 2 wheel drive box i have is boring so im going to take that to the next feather champs to get rid of it lol

will have hadox sides n lid and a 3mm ali base, will probabily do a lifter running of a drill storm 2 style but will need to have a think about all the gearing n that before hand

where did u get the cylinder from?

looking good

[calumco]

i brought a robot called lev 2 awhile ago and it came in that,

its 50m bore and about 70m stroke or something its pretty good, but its really heavy- 3kg!! lol so im going to have to get a lighter one made to the same size eventually.

[Thunder arrow]

3KG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill get kenny to make it for me probabily, give him a kfc for his troubles :P

[Thunder arrow]

lol


how much is a double acting cylinder?


Theo

[calumco]

dunno depends on size and everything, that 1 i've got is double acting but i just use it as single acting and ill probabily put bungee cord on it to return the flipper arm properly

[calumco]

the ali feathers so very nearly done took weight out of one of the main bulkheads and its 800g lighter! and theres a bit more to get out of it aswell.

its half wired up aswell and its looking nice, litterally just finishing touches now and it'll be good to go

also im not bothering with pinsor anymore, cos A-it weights a ton and B-using what i've learnt from making/using it im gonna make something which will be amazingly better and lighter and 4 wheel drive for a start so its actually controllable. - the plan was to put a car jack in to give it a few 100 kg of force, but i dont really wana wreck peoples robots, but just being able to grab robots is pointless because then the problem was it was just a pulling and pushing match- so the new one will grab and lift it will be nothing the old pinsor and im not using box section lol

[Thunder arrow]

why not just sell the box bit
someone would use it e.g use it as a frame for a new robot or cut it up and use that

Theo

[calumco]

not really worth selling, its made to have all the parts i litterally used in the robot all inside- can't really have any other innards put in so wouldn't be much use to anyone else
