Yes it does fit in the bottom, I noticed at the NEC that it would be good to have a one stop wheelie toolbox. The hardox jackets are made there are pictures further back in the thread.

I thought my robot was still a bit big!

So they are, my bad!

I'd say for a pneumatic robot, it's pretty compact. It's maybe just the arrangement of the bottle/buffer and general closeness of all the components; could well be much bigger in the flesh.

So today has mostly been trial and error finding space for everything, I think progress is being made. The robot is 370mm in width and so its tricky to fit all the components in.

looks sweet Gabe- if your tight on space you could change the fittings coming out of the trev reg down to 6mm OD pipe?- would do away with all those elbows etc and you wont notice any difference in flow id expect... its only between buffer /valve / ram you need big pipe

[Gabe01]

Thanks Bud, I was thinking along those lines, are you saying I could bend the 6mm OD pipe and dispense with elbow fittings?

[Gabe01]

spent the evening re -working the plumbing, 6mm fittings ordered.

That's seriously impressive in the space and how close to the original it is.

[Gabe01]

Thank you Dave, no special skills, just time and a lot of measuring. I've got loads of pictures of the 'Original' scale is roughly half. but I cut its Butt down by about 5 cm to save weight. It will of course have a different livery.

[daveimi]

You should get in touch with George Francis and see if he will let you copy his livery and call it mini chaos or something lol.

pneumatic change

So on Mouldy's advice and re-visiting Chris's thread (liftoff) I've switched the sizes from 12mm to 6mm and re-plumbed 'Legion'. I am very pleased with the results. I have also purchased myself some scales as I was beginning to worry about weight. needless to say I am on track with the weight as well so thats all good.

an aside I enjoy looking through and reading other peoples build diaries, I especially enjoy the photo's with this being said. Get busy

Mouldy, Chris, EventHorizon, Ellis,Dave, Matts, James and Gary to name but a few. Your sheds must be bulging so share

[SamO]

looking sweet! I'm amazed at how light that thing is

oh, by the way, where did you get your scales from?

[Gabe01]

I was amazed as well

[daveimi]

So compact and pretty!

What is the tolerance on them? Could they cope with weighing beetles? So + or - 5g or less.
