Love the reach on the new farm boy…..are you gonna have a weapon belt on this for nats and if so, will it work as well as the chain? _________________ Miles Blow - Julie Pitts

I liked the reach, but the arm was too heavy and the robot flipped itself over too easily. Looking a new mechanism completely currently. Can't really say how it will be done or how well it will work till I actually work on it more
Might get the welder out this weekend and begin slapping together something. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

It has some serious power in that gearing…just had to stop chain falling off.
The biggest shame was that the robot was only running on 4S at Vivid, it was support to be on 6S (the weapon motor is a 24v motor) so it was quite underpowered and slow compared to what it should have been. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
