Gunslinger Bob - Bob Gets An Upgrade

Hey I jusy realized you descided not to use your gearbox . I would love to have the spare gears for dusty if you don't need them. Dusty uses the exact same gearbox.

Yeah, I'll pack that in too. Sorry about not shipping until after Christmas, cash flow issues you know. But I will be sending everything in the new year.

Its no rush buddy for the sake of planning I would like to start brainstorming our makerfair trip that seems far away but its right around the corner. Any ideas for a battle arena for the fare?

I was thinking one square city block with a single tall building in the center and smaller building around. Then the cross streets would be just long enough for a bot to hide there. I am also thinking of making the buildings out of foam core board so they will be easy and light. I just don't know how much room we will have to set this up.

Thats true. What happens based off info from maker fair planners is we must let them know what we plan to set up and the size of the area and they reserve the space. First come first serve. Heres some pics off trossens arena.

I figure pvc pipe would be a good /light /cheap frame to go around the arena..... and maybe a white banners with zip ties. I wouldn't be opposed to displayng EZ Robot.com banners on the front or sides of the arena with large zip ties to the pvc frame.

I like that idea. EZ-B all over the place. And that city grid would be easier than my idea. It only has four buildings.

So I made a great score yesterday. Checking Craigslist I found someone giving away a large powerwheels (Kawasaki 4 wheeler) needing some repair. I went and picked it up for the motors and it was so big I had to pull the tires off to get it into my car. But it has a lot of great parts and I am thinking of using the drive motors and gearboxes on Gunslinger Bob - to drive his new track system.

Oh, and Josh, I forgot to pack that gearbox in your goody box so I will be sending that separately.
