Rhys has outed me! Noooooooo!

Yes, I am afraid to say that a couple of the new robots will feature 3D printed...wheel adaptors

[earthwormjim]

Oh dear.
Dave, you have let yourself down, in fact you have let all of us down.
The whole world just became a little bit sadder.

[Rhys]

I hear stocks in gaffer tape just plummeted.

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Oh well. To cheer everyone up, here's a Gemma thing, for pushing and stuffs.
(No 3D printing was used on this tiger)

Tiger Tracks

[haz]

Apologies for that.

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

So you should!

[Marco Roberts]

Can you fix that please?
Cool, thanks, bye

Things are very much coming together a bit last minute for this next AWS (for me anyway) but results are starting to emerge. First up on Gemma's team, the troublesome Roy Lichtenstein.



I recently wired it up wrong and klled the speedo and the reciever, but all is new and fixed now and it seems to work well enough. It has a weapon we are calling the rotivator, which is wired into the drive system and spins upwards as the robot drives forwards in an attempt to lift and snare the opponent. Works ok in practice, probably not so good in the arena, but its a fun machine.

For me, I have finished my clusterbot The Omnishambles



and one of my 4 wheel drive machines, Tim Henchman



3 more to build, 2 for me and 1 for Gemma.

[haz]

Love them, especially the cluster

[earthwormjim]

G-day mates. Roy Lichenstein for the win. I reckon that weapon is a go-er!!
