Hello my friends! By popular demand members want more how to videos so they are more confident with starting a project...
My little robot builder is helping, looks like my habit of using safety equipment is rubbing off on him lol.
So my first concern is to create compartments that are resistant to weather. So I need to fill in all these holes. I taped off all the holes and I will do a couple layers of fiberglass. Hopefully I can get them thin enough the battery still slides in but all the holes are covered without any gaps all the way around.
Looks like you have some expert guidance going on. This should significantly increase the fun value and creativity.
Oh yeah , the kids love it!
Ok so fair warning, Polyester fiberglass resin smells to high heaven! So always do projects in a well ventilated area preferably outside. That is where my problem is however. It is literally freezing outside and fiberglass resin cures with an exothermic reaction. I came up with an idea to use a couple 500 watt halogens a couple feet away from the Work area. This worked great! So on to pictures!
This water resistant area is coming along nicely. I plan on using foam rubber weather stripping all the way around which presses against the inside of the top. It cannot be completely sealed so the battery can breath but it will vent in a place that is protected.
So I have some ideas , one being to have a sensor stalk on top of the Robot. Firs I considered a paint can but I need RF to pass through easily. So I picked up a 1.5 gal aquarium for 17 bucks! Here’s picks of it in comparison to the main body.
I will need to fill this gap with something.... maybe fiberglass as s mount.
