O
unless someone wants to build a robot the same way like if u have a big big big big big big big e.t.c fan who want to build it
which would be weird (please can there be no big big big big big big big e.t.c fan)

lol i doubt it has anyfans it wasn't very effective anyway :P
ali feather is still once again almost done, heres a test video i did a few weeks ago running on about 5-6 bar
heres the flipper arm all cleaned down and primed up for the red coloured spray paint which ill do next week,

and heres the chassis in its current shape, other side needs armour over the pod bit and still got weight saving to do on the poly used to self right it aswell as few other areas

might not be the most interesting shape or anything, but it'd rather just have a robot that works and is really reliable rather then something that looks great so i won't be as bothered about it taking damage
It'll always have a fan in the form of meeeeeOriginally Posted by calumco
Flipper feather's looking pretty good; I have to admit, when I first saw it take shape I wasn't sure on it, thought it looked really tall and awkward, but it's come on quite nicely
Drive seems nice and smooth and looks like it flips well. Liking the homemade arena too, well until you wrecked it with the first flip
What was the robot whose chassis you're flipping btw?
think its safe to say your its number 1 fan :P
yeah i didnt bolt it together properly cos it was late and cold so it fell apart lol
and it was the flipper i made before this one, it never got used sadly cos it was designed badly and was a rush job so bent it's self after a few flips and because internals where in the way it couldn't be strengthened or anything.
in 4 or 5 days time i would have been making that ali feather for a year lol
flipper arm sprayed...

looking nice Calum, Whats it weigh?
Id change the flipper tip slightly though so its got a shallower angle at the very bottom...
it is shallower normally, the flipper arms not attached to the robot so it looks realy steep.
its gonna be over weight for now, the rams 2.6kg because its all made from steal and things like the motor mounts which hold the motors and wheels in place are heavy blocks of steal aswell, all things that need making out of ali or something later on by kenny or whoever, ill probabily get the main bulk heads pocketed aswell yet
Looks good mate.
Not including pimping it up with a lighter ram and other new light weight parts etc,---- just 1 more day on this and buildwise/ mchanically- however spelt- it will be done!!!! at long last
just drill 6 holes for flipper armour, mount 3 armour panels on the right side, counter sink all the holes on the base and grind some metal off the ram so the flipper arm closes easier (it catches atm) then its just bits of soldering and what not which can just be done whenever in my room
with it all together earlier with panels layed on n what not it was looking pretty sleek, think im happy with this robot which will make a change
will take some pics tomorrow when its all together and finished
apart from a few bits of soldering its doneeeee
