Re: Team Avenger build diary

all my parts are now either ordered or here, now i just have to put it all together and make my claws

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

just the last of the welding to do, then it will take about a day to get all my parts inside, but then the job I have been trying to avoid, the trial and error of making the claws with the weight I will have spare.

that will be interesting, pics soon of bot without claws and not fully painted... hopfully

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Ok for my update, Matt has kindly given me the shell to Spike the Avenger with some parts. Heres some pics of it in my
bedroom

Re: Team Avenger build diary

its in a absolute mess but i think with lain's creative thinking it would be able to get up and running again, and probably better than how it was for me

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Did reckon anyone else would have an original Xbox in their room except me , also didn't think anyone else would use quite as many cable ties and we did either.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Yep, ive had that old Xbox since 2004 and its still going strong

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

ye, its very large for a feather and looks in a complete mess, but i think lian will be able to get it running again.

the cable ties were from today when we tryed to do a system check for the parts for my new bot and it didnt work

something was up in the system that we just couldnt find. what ill probably do is dis-connect everything and re-solder it all back together properly

Re: Team Avenger build diary

What sort of size is it? Doesn't look insanely big or anything. I always just use terminal blocks to test things rather than soldering it, just so you can disconnect it all more easily if its not going as planned.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

the main shell is 43cm x 43cm x 10cm with the addition of the wedge

next weekend you will see it with a new 3mm stell scoop and 2cm steel sided all bolted on and it might be able to take a few hits from spinner

but the steel would only be mounted on 3mm polycarb, but eventually will be fully welded together and after that will be a full metal shell

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Cicatrix is 44cm x 41cm x 10cm with the pusher pod on so not a massive difference. Its well within the weight limit too, looking to add some weight before Edinburgh, so could just stash the old Daiske inside the front pod .

Sounds like some good improvements, will be interesting it in action.
