Re: Team Exterminate
I CADed special gearbox housings that exactly replicated the supplied plastic housing on those drill motors so that they would't break.
Re: Team Exterminate
i just assumed they wouldn't break, has worked so far

Kat build part 1 http://www.windisch.co.uk/robots/archives/2219
Re: Team Exterminate
I like the idea of that The 'build it like its a kit' approach is how I did Morgrugyn II, and the way I intend to do my new project. Can't wait to see the next instalment.Simon Windisch wrote:Kat build part 1 http://www.windisch.co.uk/robots/archives/2219

Build part 2. Not sure if it's legal (don't have my cube) but it should make a fine run-all-day robot.

Looks very good

That'll be the one I lent him and didn't take back - I'll be collecting it in Germany on Saturday!

Re: Team Exterminate
It LOOKS legal. lol. Or, if it isn't, looks like it'll be an easy fix to make it so. I like it a lot, deceptively rustic looking, but I bet its hard to beat!

Re: Team Exterminate
Thanks Dave, I only drove it for a minute yesterday, It wasn't built as a serious robot, It's really for the scouts to drive tomorrow but I think its advantage is that it should be really reliable - I know all the components, and they're all good ones, and it's all bolted together.
It drives fast but in a reliable way and the flipper is controlled by a switch so it's faster than Kitty's.
It's sporting a 500mAh battery (that would be downgraded to a 130mAh for an AWS) so it also has enough access to power to keep it running reliably, and the HS82MG servo is fast and powerful and isn't too greedy.
It will be interesting to see it driven by newcomers at Brighton.
