I have the plans for my next robot prety much secure now so i just need to talk to some people saturday and et a few parts (steel bar, belts and pulley's etc etc) would anybody know where to get6 belts and pulleys etc from. Would they sell them at bunnings or BBC or something and if not where should i look. Glen mentioned a place near his that sodl bearings, belts and crap.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Andrew: 2 good places for belts and pulleys are:

Consoliated Bearings www.conbear.com

BSC Motiontech www.bsc.com.au

I have used Conbear many times and the staff know their stuff. Wherever you go, make sure you know exactly what size pulleys and belts you need - I don't think they do refunds on belts. Figure how much your parts would cost on RCM first and use that as a guide - some places sell really expensive pulleys meant for extra heavy duty that we really don't need

Conbear in particular don't list everything they sell on their web sites. Its worth ringing and asking if they stock what you need. Make sure to download a program to calculate the right belt length too.

Dumhed and I will both be there. Currently we will be there with two robots, we are not actually the same team, so we can battle each other

We just need to get our robots done, Dumhed just started a new one tonight (he retired rolfchopter) and I pulled my one back out after not quite getting it done by a few hours last time. After a few improvments it should be ready on time and still with only a week or so's work total in it!

can we help disassemble this one too? ;->

@ Nick- thanks for that. i would not know wxactle the type or whatever, its a v-belt i think (sorta like a fan belt with a v shape i am certain). It will be a 1:1 reduction but if spinups too long i will make it 2:1.

Wheres this program which i can use, i have not seen any around.

@ Andrew: look at http://mdmetric.com/tech/bodybeltcalc.htm for a good belt calc. It gives you both inch and metric, which can be handy when working with parts from RCM. When using this calc, make sure to use the pitch diameter, not the outside diameter.

RCM has a calc on the belt ordering page, but its not as good.

cobras looking a bit shaky at the moment.

Glen, how many radios are you going to go through before you work out it's your aerial setup

Glen, u can always go back to the old aerial setup that worked reasonably well.
Worse comes to worse i will bring my radio gear (40 mhz skyport 6) but i will need it for the 3kg rumble and for some playing round with 3kg robot.

Nick still has his old radio gear i am certain which u may be able to use and jeff has numerous radio's.
