$80 . . . I think I could live with that, it aint going to break in a hurry, and considering that he probobly has at least a $6K setup, it looks like it was worth it.

Yer for the cost of a mig welder i could get someone who no's what they are doing to weld it 200 times.

I cut out all the bits and took in down there and talked to him for a lil while and he said he would trim 4mm of the base plates edges to make a groove for the weld so it didnt stick out too much and so it stuck better and didnt deform so all that was incl too so im happy.

Ill be going down there tomorow and dropping in a much smaller job and that will be the last bit o ali i kneed welded on this robot Very Happy

After waiting a month at some other place and they still didnt get around to it so i eventully told em to stick it $80 isnt much when this guy did it in a day and prob charged me less then the other place i went to.

Well it looks like i wont have a weapon this event due to my ibc not fitting where it is suposed to go and ill have to put it where the weapon motor was going to go but at least i can put bumpers on the side of the bot and a wedg on the front and back of the bot.

Sigh owell looks like a new bot next year.

hey tim, just use a smaller motor, 1kg isnt too massive a weight to spin, i reckon a 775 motor (about twice the size of a 550. you can buy them from model shops) would be just the ticket,

after all vertical limits is spinning 3.5kg with one of them and it only runs at 12v.
