@Harry, what are you doing about the link? I've always liked the idea of making a OverHead but could never think of a position to place the link where it wouldn't take my hand off.

Just realised its three weeks on Friday, time to get my finger out and start getting ready.

I've got to balance the bar, then sort out a way of controlling it. Most of the safety stuff I've got covered, locking bars, fuse, lipo bag, cradle and sharp edge protection. Got about 70-80% of the wiring done. I keep taking the thing to pieces and putting it back together so I am used to stripping it down for repairs.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Got a fair bit to do on boner but I'm aiming to get the basement sorted in the next couple weeks to the point where i can use it as a workshop. Taking a couple days off work before the competition to allow me to do the last touches and testing pre comp

I've just stripped Satanix down to clean all the sawdust out of it, cut out some bits for weight reduction and disced down the paint to the metal so I can give it a proper paint job and take the burrs off the (w)edges.

Just tidbits to do here too. Beefed up the welds on Drumroll's teeth which has knocked the drum out of balance so needs a bit of adjusting with a grinder/drill. Need to raise the limit switches in Carcinus up a bit as the actuator skimmed over the top of the outer one at Barnsley and ripped itself apart (all fixed now).
Gonna strip them both down after the GSC event and Loctite every bolt/cable-tie every connector in preparation for the champs and then they should be good

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

I am having to change. The original version ran a 100A 30V relay but now i need a 80A 50V relay cos the voltage increase. Just ordered it from Active Robots so it shouldn't take that long.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

if you are talking about those 100a solid state relays from aus i would order quick as they take a few weeks to arrive.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Binky is getting there... Conker is an empty shell. All the electronics and wiring to do and 1 more piece of HDPE to fit across the back.

Still got to order those relays to... :-P

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Lots and lots of tidbits to be done to bring it up to 100%.
