Hello all, I am getting back in the saddle making robots now that I am moved into my new home and settled into my new job as a technician maintaining the Fiber Optics network in Chattanooga TN.
IM BACK !

Just to throw this out there , this is the dragon con costume. I am thinking I will control all the lighting and vapor effects with a Web and phone on the chest.
LOL! "Luke, I am your father"!
Looks cool but..... Your a more dedicated fan then I would be. I couldn't keep that rig on my face while I'm walking around a convention.
That gun is sick! (sick in a good way).
Ok so I am trying to get clever with mounting the aluminum sprockets to the wheels. I need a surface wide enough to accommodate the pre drilled mounting holes. I need at least 4 but I will probably use all eight to relieve general stress.
I purchased 2.5 inch pvc couplers and hit glued them into place with a foam board backer to hold the liquid plastic in while it cures.
Liquid in place...
Polyurethane resin cured , 80 shore
Both are curing overnight and then I can cut the pvc couplers down to the level of the plastic surface I just made.
Looking good Josh! I wish I had time to work on bots. Can't wait to see this in action.
Where do you get your liquid plastic?
This plastic I picked up from hobby lobby. It was alumilite plastic resin. It's tough stuff not not brittle. Reminds me of abs. Also no funny smell when it cures! They have a fast cure version , 5 min but It gets very hot when curing.
Hello all, this thread was on life support , but I am bringing it back.... CLEAR! Booosh zzzt!
So I have been distracted with home improvements and car projects. I just finished the custom wheels for the Rav4 I bought a month ago.... I am a big fan of red.
So a big incentive is the 2017 Ryobi nation contests, they have monthly and yearly as well. Up to 2500 for first place, so why not submit a robot that is 95 percent Ryobi products ! Muahaha
Think I could win?
OK so back where we left off I was battling with how to handle the drill motors being mounted and the sprockets. The motor is not affixed to the gearbox so somthing has to hold them together. I was thinking of using the original casing of the drill ( and that is still possible) however I really need these things to breath so they do not get too hot. I am after all going to run them on constantly and probably half or more of their rated load. I imagine they would get toasty without air.
