Help for a big event

[BeligerAnt]

Jack,
Make-A-Bot now exists as a simple plug & play beginner-style robot for demonstrations. Goes together in about 5 mins, although it is a bit tricky talking coherently and building at the same time!
You're welcome to borrow it if you like.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the feedback.
@Gary: That looks really cool! The show has changed somewhat - the idea originally was for me to build a robot on stage however it soon became apparent that due to time constraints i would be building a robot backstage and then reviling it onstage later in the show. You have given me another idea though, i shall keep you posted and most definitely contact you if its needed.
@Harry: Been a while mate, glad to be back here. Actually some kind of "suicide bot" might be needed, have you got anything in mind? im in 2 minds as to whether i should use the flipper robot against the spinner and risk it being written off or have a separate robot altogether. Will keep you posted also.
@Josh: Connectors ordered, invoice in my dads hands pending payment. Cheers again for all the help.

One more CAD to go before you guys get a "sneak peak" of the completed thing. Will keep you posted.
Jack

probably got enough bits spare to make a robot you can total with nasty spinny things if needed, you tell me what you want and i'll see what i can do about it

[Team Orr]

And heres the two side by side, thanks Josh!

I love the spinner one, but whats going on with the flipper one ? The servo sticks out and the flipper is on the Pisa

[Team Orr]

True, there are some issues. the armour may need a reprint along the line to make it thicker etc. There was no way that servo was sitting in the robot with the design we have, its a trend i've seen quite a bit recently. Josh did a cracking job, when you see them up close at some point you should be able to see that

Oh and just an FYI, the event got pushed back to January because of booking issues but apart from that everything looks good Will hopefully be popping down to an event next year, been far too long.

looking rather cool indeed.
