Great news! The two ezb for the mech warrior's and the replacement chip for my older ezb arrived today! I believe from now on I'll start wearing a static strap which I usually don't do.

Hey I stopped when I moved seems like it takes a month to unpack everything! Parts and tools are in different boxes from moving. The body is near done I just need to mount EZB , wire the two servos and one 6v trigger for the air soft guns. Then lastly I need to mount a battery somewhere. Its pretty close;). I will see if I can spend some time on it this evening.

OK now that I'm moved and makerfaire approaching its time to mount a battery and start wiring the ezb. I picked up headphone jacks and headphone plugs to make a custom charger plug for the robots. This way they can charge between battles and demonstrations. Here's the parts I picked up to finish the wiring.

On the to do list today

  • mount a 6 volt battery
  • wire the two gun arm servos together so they move in sync. -wire a tip 120 to power the air soft gun motors to fire -screw the arms on the shoulder servos
  • wire in the second set of motors for more torque at 6 volts.
  • wire camera to turn on with ezb
  • wire the charge port and toggle switch in the base.

Alright since my brothers robot is close to testing full function I started back on mine. I used a dremel to carefully cut the battery box area out of the air soft gun to expose the back of the drive motor for the compression chamber. This is where we connect the power which triggers the guns to fire. Also I must mount the battery and ezb somewhere. We have two days but we are still on schedule to have things show ready on Friday. Here's the gamepads I'm picking up from best buy..
