[adz600]

only one reply on link any other takers,
Quick update modding no toys axe reduced weight of axe arm and head by about 150gram and new axe a frame will be about 1kg less then the old design and stronger, might use them speed 900s for the axe still not dead set on the design as yet

What you competing with at the weekend? The current/older design?

Had to make some steel brackets to mount my wheels on Onyx (the nut inserts had worn out), now back up to 14kg though! Glad it's only whiteboards at Deeside.

Hopefully the old notoy but not signed up incase its damaged got to find bits buried in the garage somewhere

[Anttazz]

Gonna be plenty of axes on show this weekend by the looks of things!

[RogueTwoRobots]

Well Drumroll's not coming so if you do find all the bits at least the robot will stay in one piece this time

No Toy lives spent last hour reassembling and tidying up damaged body panels, test drive a and axe test all good. all batteries etc on charge cycle to regain full capacity from sitting idol since GSL.

Also more parts arrived today for Ceros 4 midi fuses and 1 fuse distribution board, looking at fusing both batteries and both motors , also some nice new solder and flux to help solder the ec5 connectors. Any more advice on the bottle valve link above ?

[adz600]

Xerox update both drive gearboxes removed and checked decided to rebuild using larger shafts and bearings will also be easily removable, bearings and aluminium on order. Ram opened cleaned and spring removed all ok and closes by own arm weight
,battery location and fitting sorted got order form and price from optipower. Photos to follow soon including fliper snow plough design

Looks like it has a tapered thread (3/4" bspp) so wouldn't fit most modern fire extinguisher bottles found in the UK. You need one with an M25 thread I imagine.

ceros photos

some photos of recent work and original gearbox under drive testing was weak at best only having very undersized bearings all new much larger bearings and mounting system in design process and ordered.

these would be good for the burket valves using two to control full flip and self right flip using a timer relay to close exhaust valve after 3 seconds to save power

Great looking design, wish I had the time and money to make a full metal bot. Really looking forward to bringing my nylon machine to the FW champs this year.

I'm a bit out of the loop, what feathers are you running at the minute? It'd be good to have another fight with No Toy, last years bout was a bit lame!

[daveimi]

The flipper robot looks awesome. Is it a feather or heavy? I can't tell the scale! really fit looking robot though!
