Re: The latest machine from Robo Challenge

Yay

It's already a piece of art and it's not even finished yet, so it'll be fantastic to see it when it's complete. Do you reckon weight will still be tight or have you got a bit more room to manoeuvre now with the availability of lightweight batteries and brushless motors etc?

Its got Lipos but i think i will stick with the single astro for the head as ive already made that mount and its a lot to recreate it.

Check out this little vid of the tail

Re: The latest machine from Robo Challenge

Now sold thank you.

Just working on the drive system at the moment. Its a very small machine if you take off the arms and tail so its quite tricky fitting everything in lol. I will be posting loads of pics very soon from the initial design to where it is now. Should be an interesting read.

Here we go!

From the very beginning. here are the pics I took through out the build of Predator. Loads of pics lol. I will be uploading them gradually. Sorry for the poor pic quality I am taking pictures of my Predator Book. The comments above each pic are the original comments from the book at the time of taking the picture.

Enjoy
