That red front hinged flipper is really nice, and the toaster is a work of art inside and out!

Another few off the line!

First up a rotary lifter that made its way to the US:

Next a pair of bots forming a grabber and a horizontal spinner!

I'm nearing the end of all of these and then I can finally put serious effort into my own team again. All I have left to do is build 1 robot. And design and build 2 others then I am FREE!

That's some amazing bots dude.

For someone like me just starting out to see what is achievable I'm very excited.

Cheers! I'll hopefully get the last couple finished up and displayed here soon, then the real fun can begin with all my personal bottled up crazy designs!

A couple more and one I never got a pic of that came back in for repair:

A Front Hinge!

Ant Crackers And Smash (Individual ants not a cluster)
These had an outing at the last AWS and performed nicely apart from an unknown issue in the motor mounting, was fixed with an application of hot glue though (In combat the fit on the motor loosened a bit allowing them to try and climb out the mounts via the drive gears)!

A lift grab!

One to go, then I'm free to get back to craziness with my own team. Reading my build diary shows a significant lack of manic ant building for myself!

And the end of this exciting era:
Image

A spring flipper I handed over at the AWS being the last of the commissions off the line. Using a TGY306HV powering a spring latch design geared more for reliable demonstrating over sheer power.

Intention now is to continue with a more diverse shop range and maybe the occasional ebayed off antweight.

In all roughly 80 unique designs have left the commission shop. Some have found good success and done well, some unfortunately never made an appearance.
