Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[Coolspeedbot]

So as the issue has been raised, is there any suggestions on where to place the removable link and how to better protect it? Cause where I placed it in the CAD I though was ok cause it gives easy access for removal.

That looks like my first plan for my removable link. I would have a big hole and was even going to finish the edges so they were nice and neat and looked awesome.

After reading other peoples experiences with removable links they do seem to be a weak point of any bot so tucking it where it couldn't be bashed seemed advisable. Spinners in particular would put it at risk.

Having a pull cable (none live) meant it could be put a bit more out of harms way but kept accessible.

I don't really have anywhere else to put it.

Panels laid out, it could be ready to export as a DXF and time to get a quote from K-cut.

Small update finally worked out the mounting for the removable link and how the mount fits and is attached to the bot.

Are you going to Insomnia? Best get building soon if so!

Sadly not this time round, Wolf-E is most likely not going to be finished this year unless I can save enough money to get the hardox water cut.
