I really would not advise making aspinner in the UK, its a bad idea

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #63 on:** November 29, 2010, 12:31:21 PM »

I know, but i wanted to build a spinner for years

now my main question. Should i keep the scoop. as an interchangable with the wedge.? or ditch it completley?

I think you should worry about first building a working drivetrain chasis and then worry about a wedge or scoop. But to answer your question. I'd personally go with a wedge.

wedge

Try not to hold it together with masking tape this time :P

Am liking the look of the chassis, so far. Will the wheels face towards the wedge when it's finished, though?

Probably, I think the top panel was just on the wrong way round. Perhaps a respray is in order, though.

Yep, i just realized i put the top on sideways in the pic, but yes it will have 4WD (Hopefully)

More updates? Your kidding

Ive purchased a T-shaped chassis from Alex (Owner of Block of Wood) Waiting for it to arrive in the post

Meanwhile, here are some pics from the old Avenger and the wheels for Mini T (To be renamed)

This is one of the 2 wheels i have for Mini T. Which i have big plans for

One of the two 12V batteries i have

One of the 2 motors for the wheels

FYI if you are going to go with 12 volts... just so you know most automobiles operate off of 12 volts as well.

I mention this because there are many motors in a car that could operate nicely with a 12 volt battery. Particularly power seat motor and power window motors... slow but have insane torque. You can get these motors pretty cheap at your local car scrapyard, you just have to be armed with tools to properly remove them.

Oh, and a 12v battery is nice to use when testing car stereos without having to hook them up in the dash.

Well, that's certainly a turnup for the books, having an old favourite in there! What's old Steely doing these days, anyway?

Well after talking with the new team mate, a guy named Michael has purchased the bot from its original owners and he's joined our team. It WILL be in action at Kidderminster in October
