New Robot: Triant
After my youngest came to me with some sketches of a new robot, I had to have a go at designing them.
He came up with this idea for a triangle with wheels, that could drive in any orientation, so I designed this:
Unfortunately, after some disasters of 3D printing (mostly down to dodgy filament)
Anyway, after upping the temperature, clearing an blocked nozzle, and some overnight prints, it exists:
And hopefully will appear tomorrow at AWS51

Re: UserFriendly Build Diary
Has anyone successfully changed the pinion on these?
I have attempted this before, but damaged the motor (I presumably bent the rotor shaft slightly, pushing it on)
If you have, how did you do it?

Re: UserFriendly Build Diary
Looking forward to coming on the 1st July!
I've been working on this. A lot!
I still need to wire it up and test the weapon. Might be good to have some armour , but I need to lose 9g from somewhere!
