Building "Hard-Ox" the HW Robot.

[LewisJP]

you run a 12v motor on 37v? How many of them do you get trough?

[maddox10]

Sorry, typo. Is 24V

[jay]

I now have castors, wheels, drivetrain, a speed controller & a set BOSCH 750 motors!!
PROGRESS!!

[LewisJP]

Good going any update pic's?

[gizz]

awesome, cant wait for next set of pics!

[jay]

Houston, we have a problem!!

So, i was hoping the new drive setup would slot right in... Yea that didn't quite go to plan lol...

I fear your Hard-Ox will get a wider ass.

Not a bad thing in itself, a wider wheelbase makes a better controlable machine.

But if you want to use it like that, narrower wheels?

It dont look like it, but its only 20mm too wide, so i might be able to chop the wheel hubs down and shorten the axel.

Those motors do not look secure at the end of those thin supports. Can you not bring the motor closer to those side plates and reuse the width of the whole drive? Its a bit of work but will mean the shell would fit.

Customizing hubs, with a decent lathe no prob.

But as I wrote earlier, and especialy with the length in mind and a painfull horizontal disk in front, a wider wheelbase isn't a bad idea.

Im still not 100% sure on the weapons, im toying with a couple of ideas

It appears my guesstimation on the weight was out... Slightly haha..
Anyone fancy a guess?!

[maddox10]

If you used 3.2mm Hardox 450, and my guestimate of the size is correct, it's 35 kg for the shell alone, at least.

With the box section you did show as internal bracing, it's 45 kg , without anything in there.

This looks amazing!!!! Great work!

Your'e a wise man!

It came to a total of 39.3kg!
