Re: Harry Makes Ants

The multi channel esc was for this: https://i.imgur.com/n9lVgh0.jpg Which is a tracked (okay maybe I should ease up on the tracks) hardcore gripper! it is powered from a standard size metal gear servo with the board and potentiometer removed to make it rotate more and take higher voltages. My aim wa...

Re: TeamScrewUps poopoo bots

Does that just ride on the bolt heads? Must be a nightmare to drive if so.

Re: Harry Makes Ants

I stuck some of those new N20's into the tracked lifter and was impressed with the performance even on 2 cell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LC44jtsA6M Also took the time to try out making some side panels whilst I had a spare moment at work. They are 2mm carbon fibre. https://i.imgur.com/4TkVZEP....

Re: Harry Makes Ants

Thanks! I get glued a lot, dangers of the job. As is traditional I am working on the V2 before the V1 is shipped and fought but hey, why not! I end up chopping most of the Lego cylinder away before it is combat ready so I figured - why make life harder modifying when I can build it in the way I want...

Re: Harry Makes Ants

Thread necromancy alert. Been fairly productive though. https://i.imgur.com/ZsGcDnO.jpg This was the first version of a tracked lifter idea I had. The tracks are the staple of antweights, Tamiya but these have foam strips painstakingly glued on for traction. The idler and drive wheel are 3d printed ...

Re: Pneumatic antweight.

I would honestly do a crusher with a massive servo and possibly an external gear reduction. I think you'll do sweet begger all with pneumatics at this scale.

Re: Pneumatic antweight.

Yo! Since I've been recently mucking about with pneumatics I'll add my 2p In one of my ants ( flipper) I use a 20ml breath freshener can after a 35ml travel deodorant canister proved too heavy and cumbersome.

Re: Harry Makes Ants

A bad idea got rather out of hand and now my hypnodisc-alike is yellow with tracks and wings. Because of course it is. https://i.imgur.com/LLceAwy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EbSXIKQ.jpg Now it drives a lot nicer and its much more stable. The stickiness of the tracks counteracts the torque reaction of t...

Re: AWS rule polls 2019

For once in my life I can happily say I voted for something.

I honestly had no idea lipo bags weren't mandatory already, shows how out of touch I am! Looking at all the results there's nothing particularly polarising, democracy seems to work when everyone thinks the same!
