The Procrastnitron
« on: July 31, 2014, 08:40:30 AM »
Sooo, first post here. Anyone like NerdCubed? If so, you may find yourself familiar with the name. The Procrasnitron is a... erm... Tribute of sorts, to my favourite YouTuber for the past couple of years, Daniel Hardcastle.

Anyway, here's a link to the robot itself: http://imgur.com/xvUb4WR
O plan to make it an interchangable "Boop Stick" AKA Hammer, and it's original component, the flipper. Maybe one day, a crusher, but the budget won't allow that.

So... err... That's about that. Oh, and hello everyone!

1 post and you've already got a heavyweight chassis? Awesome, how long did that take you to make?

It was a PM'ed thing. Search "Metanoia" on the forums, it was Harry's robot before mine, and presumably the leveller team's before him. I dunno it's history that well.

Oh hey this is the second time this chassis has shown up here. Haz used to have it.

IIRC this chassis was originally G-Man 2.

@Playzooki Funnily enough, I have. I've build a few crap little things that had no place in any post, but they're all in parts now.

@Badnik96 Yes, I believe it was, I'm not sure if it is just a leveller clone or a real one, either way, I like it.

@Kurt Wylde It's fine dude, I wasn't trying to be harsh in the way I said it, just trying to clarify things :)

Haz used to have it? I thought it looked familiar.

Anyways, welcome, and good luck with your project.

Thank you, Mr. Tacos.

Updatey Time!
I've been offered some wheelchair motors quite cheap from a nearby mobility shop. Awaiting reply on their stock of said motors.

Bloody hell, I forgot to update here!

Anyway, I actually have news. A very kind person is selling me a custom full pressure pneumatic setup, whom I shall not mention here. Also, if I'm lucky, I may be getting some very nice Iskra motors, 50w more powerful than the Bosch-es, in theory. I still have yet to get some money out of my dad. Good luck me!


I've just realized I may have one of the shunned Levellers. Or more likely a clone :P

And here I was expecting this to be a Team Wetware thread.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Oh yeah it's definitely an American team. Made me laugh.
