You told me you didn't like the FBS! :P But I suppose you also said that you'd be entering 7 spinners so four isn't that bad in comparison. Looking like a scary team, though all my ants have 1mm titanium at the moment so I'm hoping they should stand up to then well enough. It'll be interesting to se...

I hope so! It all fits... just, the only issue is whether it'll be built in time. Also, due to the three rollers rule I'd have to decide whether or not to enter it in the AWS anyway (unless a 15.41g cluster magically appears). Likelihood is it will be bodged together and used for testing until next ...

Some 100PSI flipper tests http://s1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee363/TeamInvade/?action=view&current=6E0087D6-56A3-46B5-834F-17C790AEB038-123-0000001A41FA19F7.mp4 http://s1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee363/TeamInvade/?action=view&current=3208A7C3-4A61-4921-B7DA-DF0F874AC6A2-123-0000001A846263D...

Doh! Was worth a try

Better to ask now though so I've got some time to think of something else. There are some 3G servos on GiantShark so I might get some of those and see if I can manage to get two in so that it has 'some' form of controlled movement.

Half term at last :) The race is on to get 7 robots finished, of which only two are currently complete :lol: To show you all the (little) progress: http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee363/TeamInvade/371EACFB-90C2-4FC9-B01B-AA03643560C6-403-00000080878EA5F8.jpg The start of a flea weight Explosion....

That looks amazing. It's incredible how much you can cram into 150g if you try

And Dave, I think Shapeways have made the biggest contribution to our robot so far

Ready for a quick test at Maidstone this weekend (if I get the time )

Like I've said, we'll be coming, just holding off signing up until I know what I'm going to get finished. I'm pretty sure six will be going (four ants, two fleas), but I'm not too sure what these robots will be. We've reverted back to using an RS valve with a servo for the pneumatic one, as the park...

Started/completed one of the fleas this weekend :) http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee363/TeamInvade/Gustlet/C7AEF0D6-E684-4C25-BFAC-8BE907504AC2-930-000000BC09C2AABE.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee363/TeamInvade/Gustlet/69F4A72D-5BA7-40D9-83F4-689E8D9AAAC9-930-000000BC11446B08.jpg htt...

Thanks Joey :) It's the speed more than anything that it needs. As long as it's got a reasonable amount of torque, it needs to have quite a high speed to throw something into the air, and I want it to be more of a flipper than a lifter! Before it stripped the gears it flipped Gust and it did a somer...
