I've been hired and will be moving to the Duluth, GA area in the next few weeks.

Got paid yesterday, placed a whyachi order today. At some point I should have a box full of waterjet cut grade 5 ti, Az31b magnesium and 7075 aluminum show up.

Awesome. Hope the move wasn't too stressful.

This is probably beyond your bot class but I will ask anyways. Do you want this:

couldn't sell it on ebay. Don't need it and you can have it if you want. I can ship it out to GA easy.

I don't think I've got anything I could use that on.

Awesome, can't wait to see what you craft with it.

Quick FYI, I'm in Montana till Friday for work, so I'll be slow to respond.

General Bot Update

Current bots

Moros: Still good to go. Might be making a fun demo video with it in the future if I get the ok from the other party

Apollyon: Should be running within a week of the new chassis parts showing up

Kobalos: Ready. May make it to the carolina combat event in July

In design

Motor City Massacre: Mostly designed, will finalize details in July

Nyx: Playing around with some new ideas to make it more versatile

MikeNCR · « **Reply #607 on:** June 20, 2011, 06:19:28 PM »

Lots of countersinking to be done, but Apollyon's otherwise ready for assembly

Aw, cool. ~~You should paint it like a pony~~ Can't wait to see what it looks like! :)

NFX · « **Reply #609 on:** June 21, 2011, 06:41:02 AM »

Nice. Looks like it should be relatively sturdy.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #610 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:08:46 PM »

Excellent!

Very Tidy.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #611 on:** June 28, 2011, 10:16:46 PM »

Still a bit to do, but it's coming along nicely.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #612 on:** June 29, 2011, 01:36:07 AM »

Awesome!

NFX · « **Reply #613 on:** June 29, 2011, 06:57:53 AM »

Looks badass. Planning on leaving it as is, or giving it a nice paintjob?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #614 on:** June 30, 2011, 10:11:00 PM »

Keeping the internals tight so I can toss an extra pack in the left side for bot hockey at Schiele.

You're using BaneBots wheels? Let me know how they hold up, I've heard mixed reviews about them and their mounting hardware.

I'm using the 1/2" keyed shafts, so that should be less of an issue. Not too worried on a 12lb bot as tons of BotsIQ teams use them on their 15lbers. I've got a bunch of spares since I'll burn 'em quicker than colsons.

NFX · « **Reply #617 on:** July 01, 2011, 06:57:38 AM »

Looking fantastic so far.

A few bots are using them in the UK, don't seem anything special TBH

Most of us prefer the priory caster (RoboChallenge) blue wheels :P

The two reasons I'm using them are pretty simple-dead cheap and readily available. I've been using my old CNCbotparts hubs/wheels for a long time(they've been dead for years) and I'm running out of good wheels, so a properly sized wheel that costs $5.30 is a great option, even if I replace them often. The color doesn't hurt, either.
