Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Some pictures of the pod covers and the chain drive with the new motors because the final drive from the new motors is slower I have fitted a 25tooth sprocket to compensate

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

I see that it's working then...

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Had some problems getting the video thing to load
Firstly the robot has only just been finished and is running on just 12V instead of the 24V it will run on so it is a little slow plus it is in the lowest gearing for the transmission plus the feet have not been made so it is walking on wheels!!! So it looks like it is trying to run on ball bearings!!!

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

That is immense Craig - great effort

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Thanks guys, Dave the clunk noise comes from the wheels they are very loose I will fix them next, then to stiffen the legs a bit. But I was very happy it went at all for the first attempt

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Now on 24V the wheels locked up turns quite well!

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

The legs get even more hypnotic when they're all going at once :P Really good job Craig, hope you can get a lot of promoting done with it (it'll certainly get peoples' attention, heh)

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Yep they think I'm crazy but harmless, :shock: :shock:

I'm glad you like it, it took just over 4 months of hard slog to get this far but I think it was worth it, now we need some more people to make some more walkers and we have a new sub section to the forum.
Will you be taking Arac2 to Portsmouth this weekend? Would be great to see you and it again.
