I'll find out soon enough, all of the waterjet parts are being made in the next week or two. The pillowblock was effectively free, since I made it with all scrap or recycled bot parts.

http://nearchaos.net/ has been updated with a reworked front page. The home page now has a blog built into it to allow easy updates and faster content management. (ie, no having to rewrite the actual code just to post some news/a picture)

Far more detail than you ever wanted to know about tweaking lite flites to improve performance: http://nearchaos.blogspot.com/2012/01/making-wheels-round.html

All the waterjet and machined parts for Nyx shipped out today, scheduled arrival is Monday, which means the main build will be next week.

Haha, looks great.

Very nice. Reminds me of cubism for some reason. You should totally pain Nyx in dazzle camouflage when it's completed.

Why is the Coke Zero there?

~~Coca Cola Zero? Eww~~

Very nice.
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I've noticed most roboteers take pictures of stuff next to a coke can. I think it's just to get an idea of the scale of it, because a can of soft drink is a very common thing for someone to have, and know what size it is.

Looking quite good, I think. Should look very nice indeed once it's completed.

Exactly. Something you've held in your hand gives a much better sense of scale than stating dimensions.

Coming along very nicely by the looks of things. I take it the other long rounded parts go on either side once the wheels are on?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #758 on:** January 19, 2012, 10:31:49 AM »

yep, they're the outer axle supports. I'm taking a ton of pictures, so there will be more to come, along with a Servo Magazine article and a detailed instructable. I'm thinking I may even post the cad files for the chassis as part of it.
