X-mas came early!
This guy needs a major cleanup, there was some greasy fluid coming from one of his elbows... I knew it was about 25" to 26" tall but this thing is gigantic! One of the wheels looks like it's starting to "melt" down/rub off so It looks like I'll be casting either slip over traction sleeves or making a mold of a good tire and casting the whole thing as one piece in urethane rubber or urethane plastic... The wheels appear to be around 3" everything about this thing is BIG! Sorry for the bad pic but my iPhone lens is all scratched up and there wasn't much light when I took the picture.
Thanks again to DJ Sures for the inspiration and tech know-how!! This is gonna be FUN!
More coming soon...
Happy holidays everyone!!

Thanks JT! I haven't tried the camera yet. If you use it with the keyboard I think you get two USB ports... I was thinking a wireless USB hub might make things easier? Not sure if they work that great. The only downside I see with the W500 Is lack of USB ports and the keyboard/tablet isn't the most stable as far as moving them around together (it's kinda top heavy and if it's not on a stable surface it's kinda hard to use) but it runs windows and that's what I wanted it it for seeing as all the others I have are Macs
Ultimately I might go with the mini ITX idea? I'm not sure. Taking my time cause I be broke and want to take it slow
I got mine on eBay referb $375? I think I can't remember the name of seller right now but it was in perfect condition not a scratch on it. The only thing I had to do was request backup DVDs from the referber
Yea its descent , just had little marks in it , a couple dents on the back speaker. It's a cool tablet , recommended for pretty much everyone , its quick , 4 he ir better battery life and comes with the keyboard attachment.
Painting done... I guess I should of cut it up and assembled it with the servos first, but I think starting with a clean slate will help keep it clean looking.
Great paint job, on your way to a terrific robot.
@orwnic82 Thnx !
Might I suggest getting rubberized texture spray , or spray on liquid tape and paint your joints with it. The stuff is flexible and won't flake and will match well will your black accents.
. Looks like a great start man. What's the plan?
are you talking about at the shoulders & head? The original grey pieces are breaking apart every time i touch them I was thinking of maybe 3D printing something for them but I'm not sure if they 3D print with a material that is flexible enough. Thnx for the props! Your is looking great! I've been keeping an eye on your progress because my electronics knowledge is slightly above operating a light switch
LOL
Oh sorry to hear the joint covers are not useful. Thanks for watching my.posts , comments and positive feedback keep me going and creative
