Gid up and went to sketchup for the 3d picture of the damn thing. Its all coming together (on paper) nicely. just looking at a couple motors and stuff today.........yeey more research :P

[TheYorkshireProject]

Its beginning to take shape :P http://prntscr.com/9wsfcr

Just drafting up the motor/wheel design and with dimensions it looks like the banebot wheels wont fit properly on the Ranglebox 1000rpm motor.........can someone confirm if its just me going crazy and they do actually fit on the motors shaft with the hub please. :P

The CAD looks fantastic! Keep up the good work! Doesn't look like they do, but im not the best person to comment im afraid! Im sure if its just an issue with your shaft there may be someone who can suggest a method of making it fit!

I can confirm that the Banebots wheels fit onto Ranglebox motors, so long as you have the correct hubs. It's what I use on Flatulence and now Spin Cycle.

Why do you make my shiny metal baby dress like some neon fueled scene rave bunny?

Looks like it should drive super nice now though

As per wanting to keep all under one thread heres the next bit im stuck at....How to support the opposing side lifting arm so all the strain isnt on the servo as such.......seems so simple but cant seem to get the answer in my head?!?!? Theres beams going across further down but like something to support the back end :/

Im really starting to lose my head with this xD.

Also kinda a weird thought but just out of curiosity does anyone use tie-wraps to connect all armour together instead of welding, screw & brackets and all other ways?

[harry hills]

Not even slightly strong enough im afraid

It's in its angst teenage years now and is defying my rules, playing loud music and wearing ridiculous colours. Just waiting for it to come back drunk from its first house party

Always nice to have to start again due to a corrupt file! I swear someone's trying to make this as hard as possible for me -_-
