Pallet wood step stool

I had 1 pallet cluttering up the garage. It is now a step stool. Screwed everything together, sanded, and stained.

Shelf build

Just moved into a bigger house. Not enough furniture but access to free wood pallets. 30+ hrs later this shelf appeared.

30lb battlebot frame

Been meaning to work on this for a while. The 30lb robot has been sitting around for a few months untouched. Welded up a frame for it using 1/2" square steel tube. Haven't weighed it yet but should be close to 7 lbs. Next is to buy and mount some bearings for the hammer weapon.

New jeep grill

I started this project a week or so ago, started with the black perforated aluminum 3ft x 3ft sheet. Cut, spray painted, clear coated, and attached the sheet to the front plastic piece. It turned out pretty decent

Masked and applied 1st coat of white

Added 2nd color red

Cleaned up and ready for the yellow paint

All done! Md flag is lookin pretty good

Wala, installed on the jeep

Start of another project...the forge

With another robot competition coming up and a few projects sitting on my table ready to be worked on. Why not start another project...

I decided to make a forge after seeing how easy it was on YouTube. I have an old steel pot from home brewing, some bent aluminum left over from past robots. Why not melt it down into a cylinder and possibly use that on a future robot.

The beginnings

GotYourSix rebuild

After the spring Penn bots competition, camberlife (1lb) and sushi roll cage (150g) robots both came in first. Got your six (3lb) robot drive-train broke down losing out very quickly in the bracket.

Soooo the plan is to rebuild "got your six" with stronger plastic components, titanium back-plate, and the delrin front bumpers. Ready set go

Also going to retire sushi roll cage and come up with my own flyweight design.

Another battlebot to the collection

I currently have a antweight (1lb), beatleweight (3lb), 30lb robot in progress, and now.... we have a fleaweight (150g). I found the design on thingverse, link below, and had some spare parts. Walaaa

Sadly I cannot make motorama this year, so it will have to wait for combat, not sure where or when.

Adding FPV to the drone

The drone had been out of commission most of last year, due to the battery esploding(it didn't really explode, 1 of the cells died). After investing in a battery, I also bought a gimbal, gps, 5.8ghz tx/rx, and 4in lcd. So now it's like a legit kwad!!

I ended up taking the back-shell off the lcd, pulling the circuit board out of the 5.8g receiver and 3d printing a new back-plate to hold it all together. Oh and adding go-pro style mount and tab for Velcro strap.

Just waiting for a few more parts and it's time to rip.
