Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

as Gary said very evocative of Warhead

I know us Scots are few and far between in terms of robot combat, but is it that easy to get us mixed up? I drive a Kia Rio over a Peugeot RCZ for a start

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

Dang.. sorry about that Jamie, was on autopilot which seems to suggest my subconscious is 'Scottist'? I blame your robot's colours =p

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

Thanks for the comments Jamie and Ewan, and Gary if he shows . Ewan you are spot on with the claws however I will do some testing and i have a single claw idea which may supersede the twin claw thing. I'm waiting for you Ewan to get the other actuators in then I will be making a large purchase of wire, actuators and some other bits and bobs. All the HDPE arrived today so its off to the workshop and out with the router (on a slow speed) The dish-disc will be made in Canada, once I've completed the drawings.

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

large Gimson order placed, actuators, wire, deans etc
HDPE marked out
and got a sponsor who is purchasing me two sets of radio control gear - which is nice.
I will be working on the hdpe over the next couple of days, will post pics as they occur.

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

with the Gimsons, got three so i could test the sizes, the bot is so tiny, its going to be a squeeze

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

completed design lets hope it self rights

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

So guys run your eyes over this and give me feedback before I have it made. The idea will be to have a aluminium top and a steel rim. The bearing is pressed in and then the gear is bolted on the bottom.

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

the coolest spinners are 1 toothed spinners :P

Re: Sabretooth Reborn as a Feather

One tooth? could be a problem with balance whilst in motion
