Re: Tote bot

If you're planning on using pneumatics, I would reccomend using 1/2" stroke pistons to raise/lower your drive train. If you're really going for the Weeping Angel feel, you should add air restrictors to control the speed of the pistons. Nothing ruins the mood of being silently watched when you hear puffs of air and a tote clanking to the ground.

Staying in the mind of a weeping angel, you should either disable the compressor when stalking, or use an off-board compressor. You shouldn't need that much psi to lift the tote, and with enough tanks you won't need to recharge for long periods.

When it comes to building a totebot, you should ask the guys who made the one previously shown of CD.
