Oh I *see*. Okay, that makes sense. Better for defence (if you expect to miss), maybe not as good for attack (robot pivots forwards during a flip).

Aint flipper design subtle? :-)

Thanks, Alan.

Excuse me Andrew, but the word subtle is strictly prohibited from use in RobotWars conversation

Subtle!!!!er it also means the front end doesnt
rise up too much when moving forward, and have you ever thrown a dart that is arse end heavy!!
it is more difficult to control,:sad:,like Bulldog sometimes I tell it what to do, but it pleases
its bloody self!!!!!!!!and takes no notice of me,#

I have a fire extinguisher with a screw down valve. Is there a regulator (for 10 bar) that is a direct fit onto the male thread of the extinguisher?

Yes there are regs with direct fit, and a 1/8 bsp mounting hole for a 1000 psi PRD. Its the small Gloor I sulpplied to several teams.

Other option is the very small German made reg, that can be adapted with any kind of attachments to go to any CO2 storage vessel.

Just say how much flow you can pay for, and I can make you an offer.

The Happy Shopper end of the market.

At least thats better than the Aldi end

Reg of a Mig Welder will fit straight on to an extinguisher, only go up to about 6bar though, can be modded to give 10bar.

This may sound a most trivial of questions but what is the most sensible mounting to hold a fire extinguisher bottle in place?

[tunna]

Bulldog uses two large stainless steel jubilee clips into welded fixings,

[julian]

That seems entirely reasonable and Ive got a couple of them doing nothing in the garage at the moment.

Where do get a Co2 bottle from?

[mikeyg]

Flippers

Theyre relatively easy to come by. Especially say, for use in the home or workplace or car.

Why do you want one?

[Guest]

Flippers

For my flipper

You will need a fire extinguisher bottle. Technobots is one source. Thats the least of your worries however. Valves, connectors, rams etc etc.
