Re: Epic Robotics

I tried my hand for the first time at moulding silicon rubber tracks last night. I won't know if it was successful until I get home and open the mould up, but damn that stuff is horrendous to work with. It went everywhere and it took me about an hour of constant cleaning to get it off my hands. I sh...

Re: AntWeight Parts Online & Offline

Wondered if anyone could help me;

Thrice I have ordered 1.5mm steel shaft from sellers on eBay, and thrice I have been provided with 1/18" (1.58mm) shaft. I need 1.5mm as it is to go through 1.5mm ID bearings. Does anyone know a reputable source for some?

Thanks.
