Very good I'm interested to know how 180 does that sideways bit.

I'll ask again since I didn't get an answer last time; what are you using as a pneumatic valve in the flipper ? Made it or buy it ?

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Its a gravy valve, Perfect for all your high pressure gravy needs.
Its a bought valve just slightly modified. There really heavy tho. What was you thinking of using it in? iv got a couple but they wont take full pressure.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

When you say high pressure, How high ? I need to lose some weight for HA and he is running 10 bar. Plus I am looking for an AW size pneumatic valve for other people, its something we find difficult to get hold of; hence I asked if you made it.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

They would take 10 bar. The wont take FP standard tho. The valve alone is heavier than an antweight, Ill weigh one. What valve u running at the moment in HA?

Oh and 180 doesnt have omni wheels, Gunna have to guess again, Its kinda magic really.

The big question is which one of you was under that sheet of metal holding a magnet? :P

[xtreme]

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

no magnets involved.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Hmm, vibration from one of the machines?

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Some kind of futuristic ESC setting that flickers the direction of the motors back and forth, resulting in a |\/\/\/\/\/| type of skidding movement across a smooth enough surface?

I'd be more likely to believe it's straight up magic to be honest.
