Flatpack

[harry hills]

I've actually got a flight and train booked, hadn't realised you were going otherwise i'd take you up on that offer. However if you could transport a few bits for me that would be fantastic. I'll send you a message later on.

So much double posting



Gear thinned down to size, bored and keyed. Slightly odd finish but that might be user incompetence or tooling quality.

Doesn't look like I've done much but all the belts and pulleys are in stalled and 85% of the shafts are done and all of the nylon bushes are in place.



And another unnecessary lifterpose

Looking Swish!

Let me know ASAP if you need anything carrying. Can't you cancel your train? It would be much cheaper for you to travel with us (probably).

It's a shame I can't make it to Germany.
For this is getting interesting.

One tip, try bringing a table along or be early to claim one.
There aren't that many tables available at the 'rollerhalle'

try bringing a table along

Good idea! Consider it done!

Its got to the stage where I spend all of my time taking the damn thing apart and putting it back together again. Progress continues in fairly substantial chunks. Only major bit is I'm waiting on a new pinion gear for my weapon and I've not had a chance to grind the wedge flat and sharpen it due to pissing rain.



^working out the wiring paths and stuff. Wiring always takes much longer than I think. Whole robot was done in about 3 hours.



Look upon my link/fuse and power light mount and weep puny mortals! Super happy with how this came out. I slightly neglected that I did need this part and ended up designing it and ramming the print settings together in about 5-10 minutes.



works super nice. If anyone wants the files for some reason let us know. You have to strip the maxi fuse holder down to the bare bare bones.

oh and have a random photo from a few days ago.



Raptorweight wedge. All handmade to offset the lasercut fustercluck that is Flatpack. This is now done it just needs putting together.

[Eventorizon]

Damn! I'm loving all of this! That link is amazing!

You decided if I am carrying anything to MMM yet? Time is running out :-P

[harry hills]

go go gadget speedbuild. Its as done as its going to be. It drives fairly nicely although I will probably have to fine tune the wedge sharpness depending on the arena floor. It drives much better upside down than right way up due to general incompetence.

video of the lifter on 3s, it could really do with troubleshooting and simonk firmware but meh. It moves kinda.

Weight on my scales is 12.55kg

Flight is tomorrow so I'll go back to filling my suitcase full of PJ tips and grab some sleep.

Much robot. Such legit. Very win.

[Gabe01]

Such a nice job! I'm keen to see how it gets on

[harry hills]

Thanks guys. I've made it to Bochum in one peice. I love german trains! Quick, clean and simple. Take note Brittish Fail.

My robot was kindly picked up by the Botwrights this morning (shout out to Alex & Ian for being a massive help)

Have fun, and keep us posted.
