Hi Im starting a new thread with my new prototype. The old one was all messy (from me). I think it should be deleted but anyway

Here is the frame after being welded up today

This is about half done. It needs a few more contour pieces and some aluminum plate platforms.

Then I will have to build the head and arms

It's coming along! What are you using to hide frame and give it style? Fibreglass? what ever you use I bet it will look good!

Wow! Epic looking platform, what kind of current do those motors draw?

#3  

thanks everybody @tecnopro I am building the frame out of folded paper Papercraft which i will then fiberglass.

@skater_j10 I don't know how much current they draw but these motors are hooked up to two 12 batteries, so they take 24 volts. 2) invacare pronto sure step m51

This is awesome! I will follow your progress closely as I have a pair of motors/wheels from an invacare pronto and want to do a big bot with it as well.

HEY ALL

Lots of changes to "ampdroid"

This is the hull I designed, It is for a droid named NANII which I am writing a lil book about right now.

First I designed shell .obj then flattened it with pepakura,http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/

Then I printed the flattened polygonal design on 110 cardstock paper. After it was cut out and glued together, Me then reinforced with layers of fiberglass.

Now I am adding steel reinforcing beams to fiberglass matrix for bolting onto chassis.

After that I will make the head

Are you still going to use this to for your rig on stage?

#7  

@Antron007 yes it will have a little cart that it drags around. probably people will want to ride it too because you know, drunk people love riding robots

Yes, yes they do;) Nice work btw. It almost looks like a baby buggy from hell raiser or nightmare before christmas. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
