Progress report Tidal Wave 2 is almost finished, I had a few hours fitting all of the parts today. Drive is in and so is most of the pneumatics- a bit of wiring and plumbing left to do before it is submitted on friday but that won't take too long. Then all I have to do is get the logo laser cut for ...

I thought I mentioned this earlier- obviously not The only reason that it is tapped together at the moment is because it it my D.T project for school and I need it to be finished by next week. It will not be fighting until it has been marked and after that it will be welded together to increase the ...

I cut everything out using the bandsaw at school.

Marco- the entire chassis is tapped and bolted together with no problems so far

Thanks for all of the nice comments. This is the first time that I have used HDPE and I am very impressed, it was easy to cut and work with and so far seems more than strong enough for the chassis. I will be fitting the drive and plumbing the flipper tomorrow- I will try to get some videos online wh...

Well I have finally got round to building my GCSE design technology robot Name: Tidal Wave 2 Weight: hopefully below 13.6kg Size: 50cmx 50cmx 19cm Weapon: 16bar CO2 flipper (will be full pressure when I get the parts) Materials- 6mm/8mm & 10mm HDPE with 3mm titanium flipper blade Drive- 2x 50:1 ...

Dave,

it may have been a quick build but it certainly worked. I flipped it loads and it just keeps on going (unlike shockwave whose link came out).

When is your next event??

I will be at Barnesly with 5 robots- I look forward to fighting it with aftershock (might fly quite well)

Also joke robots can do quite well (I build my brothers robot Splash in a day and at robots live burgess hill it beat 8 feathers in one fight)

Who is filming the event??

It is looking very likely that Tidal Wave 2 will be finished in time although it won't be fighting because it is my D.T project for school. Is it ok if I film a test between shows??

Also if ants are running I might have one by then.
