  • Little Bit of Trouble! BW

    Pics below i hope!

    Few months ago bought the bw pneumatic flipper off swanny that tom armitage built a while ago.

    Decided to rebuild it in a slightly different shape, more like my feather Nothing but Trouble/Flow! shaped.

    Base plates 3mm ali pocketed out, got the motors mounted in blocks secured in by a grub screw- will want lightening yet depending on weight. Still quite a bit to do yet and will hopefully be making bulk heads next week

    Will be using the same stainless flipper arm too as i managed to straighten it out and seems a gd length for what I need.

                          More done, all wired up again total weight with old gas pipework and bottles is 1.195 kg.
                          Will be taking weight outta the motor mounts to lighten the robot.

                          Will get it replumbed next and get the weapon working soon

                          Then start getting someone to weld me a ti shell up

                              How much weight do you think it can flip? ("Hurriedly looks on RS for magnets")
