Haha yeah poor Calum's build thread is disappearing amongst the raging debate of vertical vs vorizontal

lol its a price worth paying jamie,

tom you should change your signature to ' if its not spinnin vertically, its not fun' makes more sence as im sure jamie would aggree:P

Jamie needs to shift his a$$ into bed.

But yes, I agree

im guessing your anti HORIZONTAL device is like this .. http://www.happyrobots.com/images/sun2-7_lg.jpg

thats what this wise drum bot decided to do.. http://www.happyrobots.com/images/sun2-6_lg.jpg

IMO he was sensible

he woulda been stupid to put a verticle up against a horizontal.

boo! hooray for vertical! whats a minor implosion from a Vorizontal :wink: when we can have pure awesomeness

Talk in tag champs chat, His build diary is starting to fade away.
besides more people with spinners are likely to look there so we will get more opinions.

in an effort to re-light my build diary thread heres some pics etc

dave no its not lol mabye a bit similar but my drum will be protected from horizontals but at the same time be able to hit stuff- intrigued? im not merry or tipsy either:P

did some more today

thats the 12 volt battery thats fixed to the base of the robot held in at one end by the drum motor bulkhead and the other end by a fastening thingy

here i've mounted each speedo for the 2 drill motors on the front blukhead that sits behind the drum

[attachment=0:seprnj9w]DSC02534.JPG[/attachment:seprnj9w]

above- heres almost all the innards inside the robot, im waiting for the drill motor brackets to get delivered so the drills are loosely sat in there, and the top battery pack mounts can be seen, and below is another pic with the top battery in place which will be fully held inplace by the top lid.

and heres another pic (in the next post below the first one) of the robot with the drum sat in there, and i've got some wheels which are similar to the ones im going to be finally using and i've just leaned them against the robot to get a sence of how non horizontal proof they will be:P

seeing as the top battery is going to be such a serious axe magnet, ill be running the drive off the bottom battery so if the top battery gets axed the drum will probabily just not work- but ill still be able to drive about
