Looks suitably awesome. It suits the shape of the bot really well, I feel. I also like how you've kept a little sliver of unpainted metal between the black and green, it really gives it a pop.

It's also a really cheap way to do a three color paint scheme without having to use three colors.

Gave Kobalos a matching paint job-

Also, checked on the paints, it's actually Rustoleum in black and key lime (this is the type for the green- http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=400 )

Put together a charging box tonight-

Plenty of room for expansion, and at some point I may add fans for additional cooling/closed lid charging.

Just put in an order for the majority of the machined/waterjetted parts to build Nyx. It may well make it to Motorama.

Will it have the same flipper set up as the RA2 iteration? Also would you care to elaborate what weightclass Nyx would be?

I'm starting with the weapon setup on the upper left. It'll be for the 30lb Sportsman and Dragon*Con classes. Eventually I plan on having an option to run it as a normal 30 as well.

Okay I see, seems like a cool idea although the wedge on the upper right image might come off as a bit flimsy.

Cool.

I decided to get one of the parts I'm doing in house made today-

It's a custom pillowblock for the weapon drive shaft. Made from scrap 6061 with a 1/2" ID bushing pressed into a hole drilled ~0.5" deep. 4 tapped 8-32 holes line up with slots in the baseplate that match the ones for the gearbox, allowing me to adjust chain tension quickly.

very constructive post as always

about how fast does that motor go at top speed?

R1885 · « **Reply #738 on:** January 02, 2012, 10:04:15 AM »

1450 RPM at 24 volts in high gear, 450 RPM at 24 volts in low gear.

Correct, and this particular one will be in low gear to power the various lifting/grinding/etc attachments.
