Right. Fooled. Sorry.

Not all of us, Ewan, spend our time looking up obscure machines on the net.

I didnt, (I was reffering to Carl as the plonker for saying that was Cerial Box Killer) I just happened to know that bot somehow

[mikeyg]

Ah ok. Apologies are due :P

Looks like one of the lighter bots, from what I gather.

its not that big, we had to keep the size down because of the weight of the disc, so if we compaced it in a smaller space, it would be harder to get hold of, nipperier but it keeps the same destructiveness as our future projuct which we havnt started yet.

got the pics yet?

just an update on Blazer, Ive had it driving around today for the first time. The arm will be finished off tomorrow, so might get the first flip in by the weekend. Ive had to change the layout to be able to fit everything in! The ram now stands vertical in the middle of the robot, which might give better results on flipper.

I now have all the components. Also due to the layout change i should be able to fit two buffers in.

Ill try and get some pics up, and a video soon.

Ive gone for a high flow regulator from Mario de Jongh which should eliminate the necessity of buffer tanks. A good thing as I was scratching my head wondering where I could make room for one. Its pretty much a direct fit onto the gas bottle so the plumbing is greatly reduced.

Im going for a horizontal ram working an arm. The only thing that Im short of is time (again)

Still no thoughts as to a name but thats no problem.

As good as Marios regulators are, I doubt that they youll get the same flow as with a buffertank. I stand to be corrected though!

Good regulator vs poor buffer tanks? Well find out. For a middleweight as opposed to a heavy, simplicity and compactness may be the way to go.
