Gravity 5

[gravity]

also moved out of competitors

I've started with gathering all of the parts I still had :




next, piling up the parts to see what shape the robot should be :




was thinking about making G5 a little extreme :




But I didn't
Changed the way I normally build, this time I started with a hardox baseplate, 460x800mm. Fitted the gearboxes + motors and gave the ram + buffertanks a place




Made a battery box, and sort of laid out the position of the co2 bottles :

some hardox stuff added, once again, sorry for the bad photo's

[kodster]

Loving it! Is there an estimated completion time you can make?

[gravity]

No idea when it's finished

Some more work done :


Made a bottle cradle, that's removable so I can get to the batteries and the speedcontroller beneath the bottles :




and how it fits on the robot :




and with the bottles in place :

i like the bottle tray idea. Pretty clever.

[kodster]

Neat. Have to agree with Leo, the bottle tray is pretty spiffy.

aaaand just ordered a bunch of anderson links and cables and connectors for the wiring of G5

resized the pictures and added this new post because the board does not auto-resize and won't allow me to edit old posts :

[craig_anto]

love your style of construction if I made a flipper I'd make it in the same way

[gravity]

Normally I make a box-section frame first, and then add armor, but this time I thought I'd try it this way
