HI all

This is my robot AEGIS.

He is made from scrap parts found in a local junkyard and old metal offcuts from my workshop.

The Torso is made from a drain inspection chamber that i got from a local builders merchant. It was damaged so couldnot be used for drainage .

The torso twist motor is from the junkyard , Its a window motor from some 1980s car. The air tank for the pneumatic system came from a old truck , It was the air tank for the brake system.

Strong design, this robot could patrol the most dangerous neighborhoods! I recognize that the wheel motors are wipers, I'll be waiting for the progress of your project

That's a really great start . I always love recycling and using parts that you have access too. If someone broke into your house and Aegis came around the corner they would be hoofing it out of there pretty quick for sure !:)
