Re: Team Avenger build diary

my whole system is now working, its now just a case of welding my supposts in my shell at the weekend, making my mounts and putting it all in

Re: Team Avenger build diary

forgot to add my power light so i tried to add that but today was just not my day and i added it in the wrong place so it is only on with the link out
ill have to change that at the weekend. also, getting the final welding done on tuesday by a local company so i should have all my electrics inside the shell by next weekend, the its the job of ding my claws which will tak a week or two then just adding the graphics and the varnish to hold them all on. so give me a month and ill be ready to unleash hell :twisted:

Re: Team Avenger build diary

got the finaly welding done today, now all i need to do is get the base and lid mounted and altered slightly (nothing a blow torch and sone spare hdpe cant fix) and then get the mounts made. then its just a case of getting everything inside since the system already works

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Re: Team Avenger build diary

did a test at the weekend with temp mounts, it kinda worked, but the wheels need making larger so ill do that thursday and ill post a video up of it once its working, give it a week or two and i should have everything working in its perminent place (minus claws) then i can hjave some fun driving it and focus on getting my cash for mayhem

Re: Team Avenger build diary

added a extra layer of tyre around to bring them upto 110mm which gave me good clearence. i was using the tempory mounts so it was all over the place but once i have my proper mounts made ill get a video up but im happy with the speed, its very quick. now i need to learn how to drive the thing

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Re: Team Avenger build diary

As is always the way, when you surface again I can't to robot stuff for the next couple of weekends. The next weekend I can do stuff on my bot is the start if summer, but ReAvenger has come a long way

We also want to welcome Ceri Jenkins from Team Psychostorm Robotics into out new alliance 'Robot Avengers'
It's complex but we are now a team, but we are also are own sub-teams to keep our own individual identity

My part of the Team Avenger update

The Spike chassis is pretty much old and worn out and bent too much, i've been drawing up a couple of designs for
a whole new featherweight.

So far, me and Matt think having a featherweight version of Ming 2 would look awesome, we have the materials to build
its chassis.

Ive also been toying with the idea of a FW Hydra from RW Series 6 (the only incarnation that wasn't blue) but i think it
would be an even cooler antweight.

What do you think guys? (And Matt as he has not heard of my diddy Hydra idea yet)

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

go for antweight if you cant but feather would be better

Re: Team Avenger build diary

hydra=awesome.

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

with some proper working out, i think we could do a FW hydra
