I saw you with that camera, looks sexy, forgot to ask you about it Downloading now
Event went great, boy it was nice to have the weapon working reliably! As predicted, I can now focus on refining some of the other rough aspects of the robot, such as the drives - broke another drill and unscrewed a wheel - btw for those watching me make reapairs, it was the *other* wheel, not the one I put on during the day and needs a chopping board slider or something under the nose to improve the low gyro effect handling. It basically handles like Demon with the disc going as can be seen in the vids, but such is the way of vert spinners. BTW its roughly 600g underweight also, can use this weight in frame stiffening braces... or maybe a counterrotating gyro flywheel, much lighter than the disc but spinning at a zillion rpm, to lessen the gyro effect - concept stolen from Glen? Hehe. Can find further weight by making lightweight lids, current ones are 2.5mm steel cos that's all I had laying around.
Also need to redo the wiring and find my own power switch - Glen dont forget I've got your whyachi switch - and grab another battery as the charge times were right up there, 3 minutes of fighting a wedge took a fair bit out of the battery.
I'll try to get the paint job fixed up before the next event too _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
