The stabilizer regulator from Palmer Pursuit Pro shop is the most recommended anywhere as stated in a previous post.

lol thanks for that link, jeeze i was looking everywhere for it! bloody hell...

You guys got the female stabaliser model if memory serves, it seems good, can u tell me what it costed u with shipping ect in the end?
The air system i got now will do for awhile, i got onto the local paintball guy again and he contacted this dude who makes the guns, and he is working on a 'frontmount reg' that will do CO2 fine so when he finishes it he'll contact me with a price, might turn out to be a winner.

In lue of my CO2 reg and getting the system setup for ram testing ect i went out and brought the cheapest aircompressor with a tank i could find, got all the fittings plumbed up and hooked it upto my miniram, my only issue was switching the valve.

BHMike has been trying to help me out with my weapon controler, we had major issues with a transistor, couldnt figure it out but in the end i put in a ttl relay and now its all good.

Just this arvo i banged together a little setup which ill try to upload a pic of , its alrdy fallen apart as the 10ish mm woodscrews dont like pnuematic rams . I was only running it at 30psi and im surprised at how powerfull it is, i cant wait to see a bigger ram with 100psi behind it swinging a decent sized pick around

yay for robots of mass destruction!

p.s. ill get pics later, camera is in the car and i cbf getting up.

pics: BHM's spagetti speedos on my drill powered plywood plank (wtf is with that alliteration! )





and my dodgy remote controlled pnumatic AXE handle ...of doom...



and the electronics



edit: 'Huge pictures r huge'... sorry guys i cbf shrinking them ill do better next time

off the top of my head the stabalizer was just over $100 with shipping. They also make a receiver mounted model but then you need the bottle adapter anyway but this means you can keep the reg seperate to the bottle. They come in 0-250psi or 0-800psi options and also options for the gauges and colours. The 300psi gauge (smallest) is useless but they sell seperatly a large 250psi gauge that I have found to be robot proof but is an extra $30 or so. Keep in mind the output fitting is either 1/8 NPT or 10-32 but the also sell slip fittings and adapters in both imperial and metric options.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

lol look what i have started!! the horror

i think mine wins more noodley appendages
(note the speedcontroller boards on the side )

close to getting some parts for my main design for my weapon, the other setup is just to show off to the companies i goto so they go "ooo neat" and give me free stuff

does anyone have any duplex 06B or 08B chain lying around?
need to find some, have to hunt down a supplier that will do offcuts.

Never continued with it though. I'm still playing with the idea for a gyro/mixer setup. As this was done with custom speedo's which are a bit to bulky

Or for those on a budget

Hmm.. Lego Wars ! Now that would keep repair costs down
I saw someone did a lego Nightmare once, but the disc kept self exploding

They look like fun. Dick Smith has them for about $378 with a nifty looking bluetooth/usb micro controller widget.

"Hey, would that qualify for a.... "Walker Bonus" ?

So iv been trying to order a female stab. reg. of palmer pursuit but it (IE7) isnt letting me (grmbl at windowz). Its returning some certificate error so ill have a look later (ill just do it in ubuntu )

Update: Im not sure if its the cetificate erros, but i think their sql script for making new accounts is borked, it keeps erroring on me :'( . I just want my regulator!!
I'm curious as to if someone who has an account there can order me a female stabaliser to my adress and i can pay them.
</update>

When i get the reg, i can finish the co2 setup, get my final ram size and buy it, and ill have my POP to arrange for a overall layout, might even do up a cad or two.

Im considering using some smaller wheels to allow for a more compact deisgn so im wondering whats out there, those home made ureatherane (sry but i cbf looking the proper spelling up, u know what i mean) wheels look real nice, if anyone has a rough price estimate or somesuch anything around the 70mm diameter i guess.

I think iv got my cousin interested in helping me out a bit, he builds and restores cars for a hobby and has a few contacts he offered to talk to for me, along the lines of welding and some machineing which is good cause i personally dont have a welder or even a bench vice atm so machineing anything is a effort

I dont have alot in the way of progess to show atm but my robots gone along way in my head

Well now, time for an update I spose.

I’ve been collecting parts for my pneumatic system and have finally received my CO2 reg. from palmer pursuits.
I am very pleased apart from having a retarded scale on the gauge (got the small one but its 0-600psi and 100psi is unreadable) and having the postal center bitch about having it sitting in their warehouse for 3 weeks cause I didn’t pick it up with them on the verge of sending it back, yet I only ever received one notice to pick it up and that was today *shrug*.

I also have my Pneumatic Ram, CO2 tank and 5/2 valve (possibly going to move onto dual 3/2 port valves for added functionality at cost of complexity.)

The ram is a 125mm stroke 63mm bore and i have devised a rack and pinion style system to actuate my axe.

This will require some nice bracket / bearing mounts that i have to design and fabricate and I'm considering getting them CNC'd out of some hardish ali, I would also like to get some block type motor mounts that iv seen around the forum for the ozito (or whatever brand) bunnings drill motors, I dont know alot in this area and any information on if someone can make me some up or tips on where or what to do with fabricating that kind of thing would be appreciated.

Another thing i need is a hardened steel shaft for my weapon it will be 20mm dia. and need to be around 100mm in length i spose (at a rough estimate) If anyone has a source or something suitable in their shed im sure it would be cheaper then finding something here.

I'm also considering getting some better wheels then the red ones, something custom around 70mm dia. if anyone has info on that.

Now for some pictures if i can find a decent host...
