Some Parts: I decided to build Some Parts after realizing I had enough extra parts lying around in my garage that I could build a whole robot... Some Parts will be a Lightweight class BattleBot. Some Parts will be a very basic wedge, but I do have some design and fabrication goals for this build. This robot is be a four wheel drive invertable design. First of all Some Parts has been completely designed in AutoCad before I ever lifted a tool. This is quite a departure from the pen, pencil, and sometimes ruler method I used in building Malvolio. Secondly I will be fabricating my own custom pillow blocks and motor mounts, as well as a few other internal items. The pillow blocks will not only support the axles but will also be structural support members. Listed below are all the parts used to build Some Parts. If you have any questions, comments, or are not sure where to send those "special pictures" drop me a line, Ray. |
