Re: New heavy called Troublesome

Looking good mate! I wouldn't worry about it looking too boxy. Boxes are good for strength, then you can throw some fancy curvy bits on later on

Re: New heavy called Troublesome

lol

had day off work today so spent day doin heavy stuff,

only having 1 buffer now, becuase the motors dont line up ones lower down than the other so a bottle wont fit under properly, so im using the space below it for the pneumatic tails ram- been having a think and it would be good to have a tail on it and it wont be really alot of effort to do so ill try it out and see if it ends up being useful at keeping the front down. - and since i cant get the other bottle in its left an ideal spot for the ram anyway

i've layed the ram in a rough position and i've got the buffer mounted- it isnt pretty but does the job and it aint goin anywhere................

next i had to make some sort of holder for the main co2 bottle i thought long and hard about it, got a bit of inspiration from stampers holder, and came up with this..............

cut 2 sections off some steel pipe i had then opened them out until the bottle fitted inside and welded them onto the robot........

once it was all in i tried out the bottle - put a jublee clip i think its called on the ring near the bottles neck and it holds the bottle surprisingly well.................

made the front more sloped then it was on the card template to get under other robots better n not sure if i like the back shape but ill leave it as is for now

gonna change the name aswell just gotta decide on something

and cos of the shape and size its startin to get really arkward movin it about-its only gonna get worse!

Re: New heavy called Troublesome

Looks much better with the longer slope at the front. Thought it looked a little weird in the card mock-up.
I can see what you mean about the back bit too. I think if you were to have the last bit of box-section going down vertically instead of with the slight angle it would look more...umm...comfortable (I think that's the best way to describe it). But that's just my opinion; regardless of that, you're making good progress

Re: New heavy called Troublesome

This is starting to look good now. Really taking shape. I think the shape at the back is ok, Dont drop it vertical, You dont want too much vertical on it, Liking all the horizontal box section tho .
New name Return Of The Pigeon Poop Naaa I kid you. I think names ok as it is.
I can see bits of Voodoo in the background.
If ya need any welding/fabrication doin ill do it. You have somthing I want so you can gimme that as payment, You know what Im on about.
