I am always excited to see Swamp unveal their beastly machines. . .
Very good-looking robot, obviously.
Tell me if I am wrong, but it appears that the intimidating design on the front will be (partially) covered up by the bumpers, which is unfortunate. I supose you could opt to not use bumpers on the front, but I think I see where they are planned to be mounted - so I guess you are using them.

That looks awesome.

What size pistons are the ones shown?

To back this up, our globes geared 1:1 work fantastic for our roller.

the covers main function is to protect the electronics from harm. the "teeth" do get covered up a bit but they should be visible from the stands, or people standing around it

Very interesting chain tensioning set up you have for that wrist joint. Is it like that to allow the chain to slip if the grabber hits the overpass? I'd love to see video of that (Swamp)thing hurdling.

I'll try and get some video tomorrow. The chain tension springies are just a response to the uneven kinematics of the linkage points. Originally the arm was going to have pneumatics, but welding was a little out, and the globe motor saved us, but actually works better, and is lighter. Amazingly what you see here is only 100lbs. but a herding device is not mounted yet, which adds another 6lbs. those go on tomorrow :)
Still lots of tweaking and a cool ultrasonic panning unit to do.
