cool story bro

i guess i'll stick to lemon cake

Indeed- Lemon Meringue pie is quite nice.

I mainly mentioned it to reference an episode of Blackadder the Third, anyway

You seem eerily familiar haz...

I don't get the point of the self-righters. Just put something, decoration or spikes, long enough out from the sides so that every time it lands on its side, its can't stay and has to fall back on its wheels.

i have to do something with the bloody great holes in the sides

Take hole

Take spike

Put spike IN HOLE

Well, your self-righters are going to be quite complicated and heavy, but it's going to be original, at least. Which other robot on the circuit has self-righting side arms?

R1885 · « **Reply #209 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:37:02 PM »

Those flipper hinges seem disturbingly thin, and like NFX said, that srimech idea of yours seem rather heavy, perhaps you should stick to static spikes instead.

haz · « **Reply #210 on:** May 02, 2011, 03:49:19 AM »

well the hinges seem strong enough to me, it can support the whole robot and me, if i stand it upside down and lean on it, they are as big as my fist, so they are quite big.
im going to use the self righting arms because chances are i wont be aloud a weapon on it

NFX · « **Reply #211 on:** May 02, 2011, 05:56:26 AM »

I think you should go for the self-righting arms. They'd be something different instead of the usual powerful flipper.

haz · « **Reply #212 on:** May 02, 2011, 06:13:45 AM »

it won't have a weapon for a while due to safety
