Re: Full Tilt

so thats why you bought an etek off me

Re: Full Tilt

Secret out.....Actually the Etek i bought from you was for the job but was just too big. Will use a mag motor to start with and upgrade later if we think we need it. Mr Hoppitt recons the mag will be more than powerful enough...it might be but will see.

Re: Full Tilt

there is no such thing as having too much power Swanny! if you can fit the Etek in, then do it

I finished Scrap Dog and I'm using my last Etek to make a hammer bot once I finish Tanto, Etek's may be old tech but they have plenty of power

Re: Full Tilt

That reminds me, Craig, do you have any pics of scrap dog?
Also, just looking at the CAD pictures, how are you gonna keep both halves level, Swanny? Surely one will move but the other will stay put?

Re: Full Tilt

Big Nipper only uses a CIM2 motor, all depends on the gearing.

Re: Full Tilt

Jarvis....the weapon will be mounted on 2 bearings that are mounted onto a solid bar that will go right through the robot and into flanges on the outer chassis where they will be keyed and grubscrewed. the same on the inner side of the chassis.....about 8 inches of keyed bar in total....flanges will be welded to chassis. I hope that will be enough to stop the twist you suggest but in all honesty i dont know how it will perform as its not been done before. The bar is hollow 50mm OD with 15mm wall. If it fails i will just redo it stronger.

Re: Full Tilt

I have considered at length a heavyweight version of scrap mamba but its already been done....

Scrap Dog is a simple wedge bot made of complete crap I mean scrap parts meant to be similar to Wild thing
