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 !

DJ's Tomy Omnibot
This was probably the funnest robot I have created yet. It is a wicked platform with a lot of room to grow. Ive been...
Robot's First Attempt Building An Android App For The Irobot...
Upgraded the speakers to 8 ohm 2 watt 1 inch diameter units and hid everything inside the dust bin of the Dirt Dog....
Bhouston's Inmoov's Sensors
Thanks Rich, Richard R, and Luis for helping me with the scripting to get these sensors working.
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.
