me too,was tired ,and arm hurting some,doing little better after this week hope to start back on designing circuits and my robots

Alright I recruited my little brother Alequa who is 15 to get the robot to point of paint quicker , extra hands are useful and we can constantly be working on something. Tommorow on the list , stretch the body in TWO places , put in vacuum , IR illuminators installed , trim the neck , mold in sensors tighter , make radar front mechanism and lastly install the vacuum powerhead instead of rear wheels , no doubt this will be an eventful day!

Great news! Just watch your spare parts bin. Things will more likely disappear and reappear on his projects to be.:)

#716  

are you going to remove all that before painting,i hate masking parts when i paint, its more work to remove paint and then replace back ,but comes out much better

#717  

Ok I have a tiny choice to make , I planned on putting the power head in the rear However that feels like it would limit how close I can get to walls and furniture with the vacuum however I could maybe cut the bottom out.of the base then rotate it 180 degrees and glue / fiberglass it back together? What does everyone think of me completely rotating the drive system so that the vacuum is up front?

If you think you could do it without getting in over your head I would say try it. Thats if you truly want it to be as fully functional as you initially wanted.

#719  

I agree. For what you want this bot to do, placement is going to be a big part of it.

I think you can do it... :o)

There's no point in adding the vac if it's not functional. It would add weight for no reason. It's best to switch it.
