  • I think also if you dump, from your pressure release valve from were its mounted you'll fire the ram

    • The main bottle will need an uptube to avoid liquid CO2 in the setup in normal situations.

      • or an anti syphon tube

        • I see what you're saying but going full pressure will cost me money I don't have at the moment and I want to build something now. When I do have money it will be for upgrading Loki 2. Also more flips on low pressure and fittings are cheaper/more available. Also the dump valve is on the buffer tank, plan to put a push fit adapter in it and pipe it to the rear:


          How do I go about putting in an uptube/antisiphon tube? Tap a thread in the bottom of the pin valve, adapter and tubing?

          • Your dump valve is in the perfect place, so it won't open the valve when its dumped. From my memory of your thread I reckon you have everything for full pressure. As for an anti syphon tube.

                  • Probably won't be able to make any until Gloucester, they're all so far away! Upgrades planned for Legion?

                    • Legion is going to have, this weekend hopefully, a full pressure system, new drive, 12 oz gas bottle housed under the lifting arm and a new electronics pack.

                      • Sounds good Gabe

                        Weight saving upgrades for Loki 2: new motor mounts. A saving of 76g. Any glaring issues I've not considered/improvements? They're 6mm ally.

                        • Looks good to me. What software are you using?

                          • I would add some corner radii but aside from that its decent. Sketchup is fairly clunky for robot stuff. Have you considered something like Solidworks or Inventor?

                            • Gabe: Google Sketchup

                              Haz: Thought about it but not sure where to download (for free)?

                              • Everything is free on the internet. I got a student copy from the autodesk website.
