Re: "Sioc" Build Diary
Hi there, just a quick update (wow I'm terrible at updating this). Sorry for no pictures this time. The robot is now driving in a straight line, so that's my greatest problem done. I've added bulges to the sides of Sioc so that it can self right from any angle. The flipper arm has now been completel...

Re: "Sioc" Build Diary
Well the time between these posts is becoming far too long, but here's the next update: So the best piece of news right now is that Sioc drives and self-rights! I've included a video showing both off below: https://youtu.be/uTgT_wc-waU I've also included a link to an album detailing what the machine...

Re: "Sioc" Build Diary
Thanks. Also, to clarify, the 5V line you're talking about is the red wire on the servo? I still have a lot to learn on the electrical side of things.

Re: "Sioc" Build Diary
Sorry for the length between posts, but I finally have progress made that I feel is worth uploading. I've finally cut and bent the polycarb pieces into the shapes I want, and besides two little cuts I still have to make at the back of the top plate, the frame seems to have fallen into place. http://...

Re: "Sioc" Build Diary
Hi there everyone. Since last week, I've been able to do some more work on Sioc in my spare time. I've gotten all the electronics sorted out now thanks to finding the trim/adjustments settings on my controller and getting a new lifter servo that doesn't overload the circuit.
