fleas

Decided to remake XS1 with a 3D printed chassis which I got done in the uni workshop- seems strong enough and if everything fits I'll get a second one made for XS2

Here is the CAD


And the finished chassis

Very swish,Will.

Do you get to see the 3d printer working?
How long does something like that take to make??

Cheers Jim,

It was really interesting to see the printer in action- its a HP Designjet one (can't remember the model).

The printing itself took just under 4 hours and the bath to remove the support material was about the same.

Now I've been shown how to set it up I may be using the printer a little more often

3D printing is an antweight sin!

New fleas!



This is Eye, weighing in at 72g



And this (in no way named simply to annoy Will when he runs the event) is i, which is 74g

Both are made out of spare parts for the hell of it, but the last time I did that I ended up coming 3rd, so who knows!

eyeball seesaw....
i hope you're running a cluster with them, or maybe next time round try a 3 way cluster with another bot called captin
look cool

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

The clusterbot name is An i for an Eye, but I don't have room for it as part of my team. I've sent a PM to Jonny asking if he'd like it on his, cos I'd love to see them taking on/getting broken by ants.

i don't think he is going, i asked him about it a couple times

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Well he signed up today...
