Our new robot Shockwave is being built and should hopefully be ready for XFM this weekend.

current pics on profile

Drive- 2x 18v Drills running 75mm wheels
Batteries- Ni-Mh
Armour- 10mm polycarb and 4mm aluminium
weight- should be 12kg when finished.
Weapon- LP flipper

Tested Flipper today with very little Co2 in the bottle but it still had enough power to throw whirlpool and self right so it should be even better when its finished and working properly.

Those photos were taken this morning, since then it has braces fitted made from 8mm ali and 10mm polycarb which have stood up quite well so far.

Not another flipper, I hate fighting flippers. Only joking, I hate spinners more. Looking very good Will.

Theres too many ram-bots and not enough flippers/spinners or axes at the moment!!!

how much has the whole pneumatic system cost you to build from switch all the way to the rams? i might be heading in this direction after i have tested it with my compressor system.

Just tested the flipper on shockwave.

Running on 70psi it threw a box 7ft high.
Should self right but ill have to wait until tomorrow when it hopefully wont be raining. I cant test it at 10bar though because the compressor wont go that high.
Ill try and get some videos online tomorrow.

Mark- postcode is IP10 0DE

Updated pics of shockwave on my profile.

Almost finished, just got to connect up the pneumatics and fit the speed controllers.

Then we need to fit the bits to stop it resting on its side or back so I should have all of tomorrow to practice driving.
