Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

I just checked the speed and it is doing 6700 rpm on 3 cells.

Where did you get that montage picture Pete? One of those robots was mine!

[peterwaller]

It was one I put together of various pictures I had taken and I used it as a poster at one of the Brighton Model Shows some years back.

[Hogi]

might put it on my computer background. it's an awesome montage!

[peterwaller]

Made a little more progress have now scaled it up a bit until the outside diameter is 98 mm to enable the two motor gearboxes and reasonable tyre to be fitted within the inner diameter.


All up weight so far is 74 gms.

Looks great, dont want to face this.

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Really looking forward to this one Peter

[Hogi]

will this be a full body spinner? if so, we need more of those in antweights, there are'nt many about and they're really cool. also, that means you'll have three spinners in your team Pete!

[peterwaller]

will this be a full body spinner?

The body doesn't spin so not quite the right description maybe total surround spinner or something like that.

that means you'll have three spinners in your team

It may fall apart on the first hit so I am not counting it into the team yet and even if it does make it it might replace one of the spinners.
With luck if I can get it working for Antfreeze I could do some pre AWS testing.
In the mean time I have been looking at CNCing some bits in fibreglass as a fallback.

Ring spinner I think is the term.
