Meet Aegis

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 chassis is made from 2"x2" box section mild steel. The upper frame made from 1"x1" box section mild steel.

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.

IF YA WONT TO GET A HAT , GET A HEAD.

I made a tempary head out of cardboard , To get the look right.

MR TUFF NUT.

I then used the carboard head as a template to make a metal replacment.

BRAINS

The brains have flashing LEDs to add that cyborg look.

Im waiting for the motor controller (sabertooth) to arrive . Let the ROBOLUTION begin.

More posted as i make progress.
