It is.
It is gonna be as long as it is wide. Previous versions drove very well, but turning on the spot was hard with a front end that long...

Sounds interesting (and I wasnt being critical, WJ - Mike has banned me from designing with a CAD package - just amused). I genuinely look forward to the final robot, and thank you for the preview, however, er, sketchy.

Sketchy it might be, but just compare the result with this here sketch and see the remarkable resemblance Drawing this sketch is the same style as building my robots...

The ram you see in G4 is actualy my first FP ram I made. Meant for Project I Beta.The ram in G4 is therefor a 63*330 ram.
In other words, not as much lifting power- only 1500 kg, but with about double stroke, giving a less powerfull ram, but still impressive.

Do not forget Gravity IV is a budget machine, build out of stuff WJ had in the shed.

Check out our minivan and my hallway, basement, living room, kitchen and garden then. There might even be parts to be found in the attic and the spare bedroom.
But not in the shed. Oh yes, and not in the master bedroom either. Unless Mario managed to sneak a part in...
