Some pictures of the build. Thanks to Joey for posting them. Liam would normally do it but he not online tonight. More pics to follow and lots more work to do but looking good so far
I will do some measurements soon. i think the wheels are 900mm apart. Its not as big as it looks. It is only 5mm t6 ali but hey i am not building my robot to defend itself from a couple of hard hitters. if it gets damaged then i will fix it. Saying that there is a 10mm t6 flipper covering most of the front and 7mm ti will be bolted in places. NO HARDOX on this robot. The best thing about this robot it the enjoyment of building it
Looking funky Shane
In a weird way, it sort of looks like Envy and Gravity 5 could be brothers or something, the fact that they're both flippers, have the long front wedges and have almost identical looking go-kart wheels and similar wheel-mounting locations. Hell, they could even be considered as having been 'born' together since they're both getting made at the same time. Then again, this could just be the hangover/sleep deprivation talking
Is that tube fixed in the middle there solely to add some rigidity to the bulkhead chambers on either side or is it going to double up as some sort of buffer tank??
it is indeed the buffer also adds strength to the chassis. Its not finished yet and will change shape still. WJ and I are indeed buinding the same looking robots. great minds think alike. Both will i hope work well too
