She's gonna have a gloss black finish with air brushing to outline the cutout features. Green for the grass blades, white for the teeth and red for the eyes. The frame inside might end up red. Then the number plates etc in the vertical on the "secret" thing might get a different colored green than the tetra. Weight: I've actually picked it up by myself with "almost" everything in it. So it's OK. I think when it's done it's going to nip the limit. Andymark transmissions. Her technical speeds should be 14'/s high and 5'/s low. We'll be driving it this weekend, I'll host a video at that point |

Re: pic: 179 Drivetrain Teaser
My guess for the four corners is either powered outriggers or mast supports?
Waterjet cutting looks great, can't wait to post our teaser. |

Re: pic: 179 Drivetrain Teaser
As promised, here she is on the move:
179 maiden voyage She drives like a Cadillac. We also had big John lay down and put it in low gear and pushed him. He's about 280lbs maybe? but I don't know what the coefficient of Johns butt is... I know the next question is, what are those pipes. I'll give you a hint, no they are not outriggers. And no that's not how they will look, they're just strapped up out of the way. No that's not part of our super secret rapid cap system. We weighed it to be 90 lbs with almost everything. I think it's going to be 100lbs w/out the battery. One more thing, I don't know if anyone noticed the perimiter shape (hexagonal). Let's see if anyone can guess it's function. The shape is credited to the very famous Warren Boudreau Here's a better picture |

Cadillac, I was thinking more like a V8 Ranger or maybe a Silverado. But perhaps one of those Cadillacs like a 1973 El Dorado with a 500ci under the hood. Quote:

!!! Maybe that is why the bot is shaped like that that way, so when they pull the rod things in..one side of the tetra will rest on the side of the bot. If this is the case, then that would mean their arm can reach both ways without turning (duh), and can hold more then four tetras on their bot at a time!!! ![]() Last edited by BoyWithCape195 : 30-01-2005 at 23:16. |
