Tuesday we will be working on the robot at my house. We still need to assemble the electronics and pneumatics as well as pimp it out with lights and such. Here is the latest picture of it that I took with my phone:

I will have more photos tomorrow if everything goes as planned...

Here is a bit more updated picture, although it's in the back of the car...

Here are the pictures for today. The first picture is of our battery selector switch. It operates at around 50PSI and the switch can handle about 250 AMSs continuous and 360 AMPs momentarily. The switch is designed for boats with two batteries and runs around $30. The second picture shows a little more of the work I did today plus the back of the battery switch. You can start to see the electronics coming together. I hope to have this thing running by tomorrow. We are going to add neon lights next week and I have the wiring already prepared for that. After I get it all wired, I'm going to clean up the chassis and sand off the stickers left from the the old shooter. We will be running about 120PSI in the large orange tank. I tested the tank and it works very well. We've only tested it at 40PSI so far, and it shot a T-Shirt about 20 feet and then hit a wall pretty hard.

Sorry, no pictures today... but I do have a video of it. At the time taken, the tank was only pressurized to 80PSI. This tank has the capacity to hold up to 300PSI, but we can only put in 120PSI. The less pressure, the safer

we have been making t-shirt cannons for a couple of years now and have always wanted to do something like this. Just curious as to what you used for the tubing, and what kind of valve did you use? thanks.

What did you use for the hose from the tank to the barrel

RyanN · #68 27-09-2007, 21:39

I'm not really sure what we used for the tubing. To tell you the truth, this tubing is over 4 years old, and was purchased before I was even on the team. It's pretty hard. If I had to guess, it's probably some type of water line that is used in boats, possible a sewage line for boats (don't worry, it was never used for the sewage though...

)

Haha... yep, my dad's old 55 Chevy. The robot took the place of a much nicer car though that my dad got mad at because it got dust on it

. Take a stab at trying to guess the car. It's also a Chevy, sports car, 1972.

What did you guys use for the tank? Is it a propane tank?

It's actually an empty freon tank a student had sitting in his garage.
