The Grim Reaper!!

[calumco]

Name to be changed most likley to Reaper as the original team want to keep the name i believe.

Had a propper look at it today, mainly gave it a coat of primer to stop it going rusty since matt got it sand blasted before i got it.

not in too much of a bad condition really, few bends here and there but nothing too major

what i've sprayed red is getting cut out as its bent upwards from the ram pulling up as it reached the end of its travel, and instead a 3.2 hardox base which will mount the motors, ram etc etc

Spent a few hours on grim reaper yesterday, mainly chopping it up and planning what i can do with what parts etc.

motors i was given for it don't fit in the slightest so having to sell them off and get some bosch 750s or 400s sorted

can't believe it but at work thursday i was thinking about grim reaper and um-ing and ar-ing about hinges for stuff and out of no where managed to 'find' some steel scrapped parts at work with a 20mm hole in the center which will work perfectly!

day off work today so spent it working on grim reaper.

the heavy weight bug is catching but at the same time i can't believe how shattered i am lugging the robot around every which way but loose all day. everything on me aches! feathers are so much easier to work on!

bottle holders almost done, new hardox base for it and the rams pivot is made. its crazy I started the day welding the base on which took an hour with some amazing welds, and as the day went on especially in areas where they would be clearly seen its like i forgot how to weld and some are eye sores! they'll hold for now at least anyway thou.

quite a lot of pictures to follow, starting off with the chopped chassis laying ontop of hardox so I could mark out what to cut out for the new base. Then mounting things inside like the rams pivot and the bottle holder, having a play with where a pair of batteries could go and just seeing what the arms like fully open etc etc.......
