Its hard to overstate my satisfaction... looking good!

What type of welder did you use for that? Looks a total tank!!! Good Job

[Gabe01]

Thank you guys it's really coming together. I've been watching Adam Savages one day builds on YouTube. He is a prop builder and he's all about creating a story around the piece. Therefore the legion04 series, was built and designed as a cleaning robot from the Aperture testing facility.

The welder is just a bog standard mig

[Gabe01]

The reason why it looks like a tank.....Boner, 720, binky, drumroll to name but a few......NST!!!

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are my hero's lol. Robot is ace! Are you gonna enter the champs with it next year?

[Gabe01]

The plan is the Championships, I had such a great time there when I went for the day! its made me press on with the build.

[Gabe01]

The pint is present because in my opinion its entirely normal to take your robot to the pub, its also a handy size reference

Cleaning with a pneumatic flipper? Typical GLaDOS XD

[Gabe01]

It's the most efficient way of cleaning up the bits of test subjects

Lol

I have got my 'Trev' regulators today, thanks Trev.

[calumco]

in my old feather i ran a trev regulator and i had my bottle practically standing up right (near enough) and the pneumatics ran like a dream but since i built my new one with my bottle laying sideways like you have the regulator keeps freezin up and going full pressure and all sorts! im guessing a dip tube in my bottle would help this thou, do you have dip tubes in your bottles or are you going to see how it goes?

also noticed your using a banebots drive set up, ive made kits which support the back of the motors etc if you were interested too. i forget which motor size they are for, may be the 440's or something ( they fit the setup dave moulds has if thats any help)

[Gabe01]

Thanks Calum,

Ive been looking at dip tubes and have fabricated some copper ones to ensure I don't draw liquid, so hopefully I should be ok. As to the drive set-up its from Gimsons! (18V) but tell me more about supporting the back of the motors, what happens to them?
