I see Pop Sci's "Tomorrow's Robot Army."

Your not planing on taking over the world are you?

That bad boy could do a real number on your shins...

It is soposed to be small, because it is in the 30 lb weight class. Yes you can see one of the wheels to my segway in the background.

Nice catch. That is the issue about robot for the military. Good catch, although I would never try to take over the world....or would I

Very cool, whats the total cost? And where did you get your parts cnc'd?

Scott Morgan · #7 13-08-2006, 16:21

are those fisher price motors or the banebot standard motors?

Jeremiah Johnson · #8 13-08-2006, 18:16

Looks even better in real life than the Inventor drawing. Heh... looks awesome. Good luck.

Travis Hoffman · #9 13-08-2006, 20:05

Do you own stock in BaneBots?

Greg Perkins · #10 13-08-2006, 20:14

They are banebot standard motors, although i have been debating changing the center wheel to a FP for torque reasons. The motors driving the wheels are 16:1 and the spinner is a 5:1

no but my experience with them again is another reason I really like working with them. They helped me out a bunch when i fell into a shipping bind and even found a cheaper solution. In my mind I think any FIRST robot I am involved in where FP motors are in the kit will have a bane bots transmission on it.

Gabe · #13 13-08-2006, 21:20

Very nice machining! It is truly beautiful.
