RW pullback to antweight conversion

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

well its kind of about antyweights, but also robot wars toys

if it's just for fun in show breaks then whats the problem with no srimech? just reach your hand in and turn it back over. Alternatively a small less than 10g servo would suffice or use a paper clip linkage from the lifter to the srimech squidly diddly style!

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

yes its just for a bit of fun, bot would be nice for it to work properly and be close to the heavyweight version

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

I always thought it would be fun to have all the converted robot toys fight in the miniature robot wars arena.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

PJ, that Sir Killalot conversion sounds pretty cool! If I had done one I'd have never thought to go to the effort of getting the lance spinning (maybe I'm just lazy/like being cheap). Has Dan got any photos, or a video, of it?

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

We're doing a whole lot of video/photoing of robots tomorrow, so I'll make sure we get some of Sir K. The lance DID spin but I think the motor burnt out after a short while unfortunately.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

I found him sitting on a pack of rawl plugs in a cupboard without his head..... Although he's looking a little sad this is Sir Killabitza or Sir Bitzalot... Just Sir [insert Bitza pun here] Lot.

Also the auto focus has gone on my phone.....

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

I did a panic attack way back in the day, it was pretty easy getting some micro servos to fit with some minor modification. The biggest pain in the proverbial was the lifting linkage as it broke with the slightest breeze and wasn't quick enough for my servo so i kept shredding gears...

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

Trying to find a pull back that's not stupidly priced is rather hard, ill just keep checking every so often till I find one

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion
