Title: The Procrastnitron
Post by: ArtyomTDO 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 (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!

Post by: Philippa on July 31, 2014, 09:26:26 AM: This is just Leveller 2.

Post by: ArtyomTDO on July 31, 2014, 09:31:49 AM: I maybe should have mentioned, that I bought the chassis off of the FRA forums, however, the boop stick shall make it not so leveller 2 ish

Post by: Philippa on July 31, 2014, 09:37:20 AM: I see no thread on FRA about it.

Post by: ArtyomTDO on July 31, 2014, 09:41:13 AM: 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.

IIRC this chassis was originally G-Man 2.

Post by: Philippa on July 31, 2014, 12:21:20 PM: Alright man, sorry for jumping to conclusions. Welcome to the forum.
Title: Re: The Procrastnitron
Post by: ArtyomTDO on July 31, 2014, 02:38:27 PM: @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 :)

Anyways, welcome, and good luck with your project.

Post by: ArtyomTDO on August 03, 2014, 10:17:29 AM: 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.

Post by: ArtyomTDO on August 25, 2014, 07:04:58 PM: 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

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