Re: Flip-Side's build diary

I see, I just used grub screws and not an o-ring. Well, I tried the o-ring method first, but like you say I found it made them run quite a nasty way.

I would say, just use the grubs screws I ebay linked you to in your enquiry post and don't bother with the o-ring though someone else may advise you otherwise.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

Yeah heard the o-ring might tear and wear off during fights as combot robots tend to stall and such often unlike other applications.
I screwed in regular M5 bolts into every other hole as grub screws and then cut the top off.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

I'll try the o-ring for a while and if they wear off i'll get grub screws

I seem to have a problem i have the CAD for the robot to scale and i realized i need wheels with a diameter bigger than 100 mm does anyone know where i could get bigger ones with nut inserts?

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

maybe you could rearrange the cells to make the packs more flat, depends how much space you have left inside your robot. i don't think there are any other suppliers of nut insert wheels other than robochallenge, you could always insert the nuts yourself.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

That is as flat as I can get them. I'm not sure if i trust myself enough to add them in myself.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

Could send James from Robochallenge an email and see if he can sort you out?

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

I will try and see what happens

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

Not much point in asking James to do a wheel for you - robochallenge already sell a 120mm wheel. Drumroll 2 uses a pair. Mind you that could make your machine insanely fast & manoeuvrable - think wild thing on fast forward.
