Hi Peter, May be worth checking the failure rates of the other layers, try snapping the Nylon print above to see if the layers break too, as it could be a sign that the temperature is slightly too low and the layers are not sticking together 100%. As that fail was along a single layer it could be a ...

Just an update to the design, shall try and print this tonight and see how it goes, once i have it printed i can set to removing excess plastic for much needed weight reduction!

I have been working on a new chassis for the ant, and so far this is what i have come up with https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7642/27232421456_5a95c9fb4f.jpg It looks a bit sporty on its own i think, but the spoiler is meant to be a back guard from the drum. I have had the ant driving around and spinn...

Changed to my laptop, pics here: https://flic.kr/p/GynZ1T https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7266/26620687743_34b280447d.jpg Acrylic test sides milled in milling machine.

Today I managed to get to use my milling machine at lunch time, and am very impressed by how well the mill left the edges of the acrylic (pinched from model making) I will be using carbon in the final one, but I do like the clear plastic look, although it would shatter, anyways, my chassis base is p...

I see you don't have any antennae wires on the lemonrx, do you remove these or tuck them under the heat shrink?

Today i received the final piece of the puzzle, my 2 Lemon Rx have arrived. I bought 2 of them so the total would be £14.63 ish, just under the import duty price,so i would have to paty the additional £8 plus customs charge. I would have bought the 5 pack, but it would have cost the same if i bought...

Hi all, wanted to introduce my idea for a 2 weaponed ant. It is going to be a challenge with my plans due to the weight, but i think its a challenge worth taking on! who knows what the results will be like, Anyway, this is a new bot that adds to my DELLapidated bANTtry and my disk wedge bot, which h...

perhaps a horizontal disk through the lower half... high enough to allow wheels underneath but low enough to hit other bots.
Although when running forward and stopping it could have a tendancy to roll into the floor and that could be fun...

I am, and i'm sure many lurkers are interested by what other peoples robots are like, so far i have 2 bots and 2 in development, just not set an event to go to... although i'm going to 'Robot Wars Live' in my home town Portsmouth on Saturday...
