Re: Epic Robotics
Almost done. Everything is fabricated now, it's just a case of putting it all together. I'm going to investigate waterjetting companies next time I need to work with ti, as filing it in this weather is bloody hot work.
Hoping to have it done by tomorrow, so I get a whole day of driving practice. That will be one whole day more than I normally have!

Re: Epic Robotics
All done! It's a bit slower than I'd like due to having to drop down to two cells, but it'll have to do. See you all tomorrow!

Re: Epic Robotics
Surely the fact that it is red should give it some sort of speed boost?
Looking cool, very angled and swish.

Re: Epic Robotics
Time for my first post in preparation for the AWS!
Here's the beginning of my new pneumatic flipper, Flux. Inspired by american SHW Ziggy, it's a 4-bar (well, 2 bars and a slider technically) flipper designed to throw robots as far as possible. Whether it'll work or not is a different matter ^^.

Updates and the new Void will be coming shortly .

Re: Epic Robotics
Nice. Good to see the lego ram being used well. I've always thought it was too tall to be used in a decent antweight, but it looks like I'm about to be proved wrong. One question though, I see no space for the usual deodorant can style tanks... are you using something else instead? The only thing I can think of is that one of the standard lego tanks would just about fit into one of those side gaps. Or are you making a custom tank? Or am I missing something obvious? Looks good though, can't wait to see it in action.
Re: Epic Robotics
Big custom tank in each side, everything else (apart from the drive motors) in the centre, so should have plenty of gas. I think for a standard layout, the Lego ram is too long unless you cut it down, but it works well in this configuration. I just hope I've got my geometry right so it works as expected .
