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.

Kkeast's Its Gonna Be RAD
Hey all. I was really excited when my EZ-B arrived about a week ago. While it was on its way I was searching around for...
Autiboy's Max The Robot Based Off Of Inmoov
The robot max is based off of inmoov and I 3d printed everything on him. This is my first 3d printed robot. ...
Fxrtst's Project Gargantua (Or Gar)
Project: By request, my 6 year old son wanted me to design and build him a Hexapod. So I started to whip up some designs...
Ok so the smaller screws I picked up never drove down tight so I installed bigger ones and also added two more points of attachment that I could drive down tight on the frame as well. Now there are 4 mounting points for the drive motor and I am satisfied it will hold the drill motors in place. I can easily add two more by filling voids between supports with the liquid plastic and driving directly into those as well, but this looks sturdy.
OK so I have found a fatal flaw in how this is setup, I SHOULD HAVE< done a direct to gearbox wheel mount. The chain drive derails often because variation of the movement of the suspension. It is not the first time I made a big "OOPS". In this case I am going to connect the drive of a small jazzy wheelchair and test it out and it this is smooth I may permanently meld them together.
eek stress Condolences. I feel your pain.
Thankyou for your sympathy ! I was really sad when the tests didn't work out. Such as any experimental project we find kinks. I am going to see if I can just mount the jazzy motors directly into the mower, but first i will test it out with the mower connected to the front of the jazzy
Not pictured but I already picked up 2 U1-3 lawn and garden batteries that pit inside. I may upgrade later to AGM lead acid but not until I see if I really need them for the project.
I got this Jazzy Select chair for 110 dollars working at the time but bad batteries.
Ok there might be one or two fixes for the chain issue. First is that I need to remove this adjustable axle because it flexes too much and put in a solid or tube axle that will be in a fixed position. The wheels will need to be able to slide over it, I may try using the same chain and go from there.
As a temporary measure though I could attach it to the jazzy and run it around. I am just so anxious to get something moving! So close
If I do this I am also considering upgrading to number 40 chain which is overkill as far as strength but is much more stable in this short distance that the small chain.
