Very nice. Don't see too many grabbers around
I started out with nothing and still have most of it left

Re: New Anticide
After the poor preformance of the pneumatics at aws36 I have been testing my new set up:
The first test fire in the video empties the tanks, I will pulse it on for about 100ms so not to use all the gas in the final bot. Looking very promising so far with how much air it can output at once, in theory it should give flips over 1m high. We shall see when the ram is built.

Re: New Anticide
Ah good, a spinner! I was thinking it would be more like the Anticide that had the "nomming" mechanism, but this is much cooler. I'm pretty annoyed that Fail is only 140g still though. Haha, it keeps winning, and you've still got 10g to play with!

Re: New Anticide
Looks fantastic! Looking forward to seeing the finished bots and also seeing them all in action again.

Re: New Anticide
The grabbing mech wasn't very sucessful, if I have time later I may look at making it again. I can once again shout NOM NOM NOM when driving towards the other bot
I had two options for the anticide pneumatics. One was to use two solenoid valves, the other the mev-2 quick exhaust valve (like a low pressure feather), but the tank I made is far to heavy so I have gone for the lighter QEV design. The problem with this is that is not very reliable and has to leak air to lower the ram.
Anticide also had a spectacular failure during testing this evening, the ram and piston decided to fly out of the robot and into the ceiling at high speed. Looks like it should all be repairable, just need to get the electrics into the bot and it will be ready.

Re: New Anticide
Andy, any chance you could, you know, not repair it? lol. Is it likely going to blow up again? Will be interesting!

Just wondering whether this relates to the pneumatics or the ceiling...Andrew_Hibberd wrote:... into the ceiling at high speed. Looks like it should all be repairable...
