OMG servo switching tyre bot?!?!?


Oh yeah!

In other news, my most successful build day yet. Caber is pretty much re-assembled. Thus leaving time for a quick bot for my friend Jaemus to drive.

Im going to be working on the day, Im determined to take as much work
as I can this year, Im on Pacific at the moment then Im going
to Wolverine late feb/march, so Im cashing up now to by robot bits!!

Im planning my low lifter with Angus, and Im currently working on
a mockup of the mech, Ill be ordering my linear actuator pretty soon so
that I can have a featherweight again!

Ill definatley be at the march event, hopefully with Chip hazard sorted
out in the electrical dept-Ill also have a VERY thick, shallow wedge that
can go on the front-looking forward to hopefully taking on Phailboat
with that.

On a side note, Im going to start a "Jasons' oddity page" in the off-topic
forum-Ill be posting pics and vids of some of the modelwork Ive done,
pics from my movie prop collection and vids of my Greek seige engines
at work! Angus and I took my Onager (torsion catapult) out today
and fired rounds out to 250 feet- we also destroyed a toaster and
a domestic Iron with it!! stay tuned!!-good luck to all for Saturday-Jas

enjoy working on the pacific my friends been an extra on it sense november and his haveing a ball.

Excellent; we can both declare that both our wepons are off-line and avoid all the expensive damage!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I have had some setbacks, what with getting a new kitchen put in and so all my stuff was packed away in boxes out the back but the yard has been getting a clean up and a pits area set up with the tables and power to each.

Lindsay, don`t forget the other tables please and the chairs and for competing bots, don`t forget your entry fee!

I borrowed some of the wooden ones for a party

Dont worry, will bring them back for the event!

,,,and the chairs,,and the chairs!
I havn`t tossed them yet but I am getting rid of all the crap chairs and just keeping the plastic ones so they can be stacked and put away.

Jeff, I set up your tables for this event, should be enough but I have been hoping for 6 months that you would take them home!

Sorry for the late notice, Scissorhands won't be going to the first event. The wheels tested out very poorly and I doubt they would last even half a match before they tore themselves apart. It looks like adding plasticiser to make the urethane softer also took out all the strength as well

lmao piss poor excuse nick you have plenty of time to make some adaptors or modify the old wheels. in any case i expect you to be there with the current batch of wheels at least!!!

cobras done in all its horrific bodgy glory. 3 smashes with a hammer and a 2 second pass with the grinder got it done.

also had a secret weapon i hoped to bust out this event although unfortunately it had a case of horrific and epic failure last night and wont be there alas. RIP gas powered visceral
