AndyMarks box came out just after we started the build and didnt make sense four our desired aplication.
the showcase is bigger, only has 2 talons, drives around(not what we needed), no support for external motors or inputs and outputs for pneumatics, sensors, encoders, and doesnt work with box closed

Nate checked the case. Wow! This is a nice case!

[MrForbes]

that's neat! And if you do something about the connections to make them water tight, you're half way to being ready for a water game

i really like this idea. What size Pelican case did you use? Have you though about adding a fan to the system?

we used a pelican 1500 case. We have a plan for adding a fan if needed but have been watching the temps and haven't had a problem yet with the box closed.


there will definitely be a fan in the pneumatics box to cool the compressor

Here is a top view of the bottom section of the case.

I just finished building a table-top trainer/test lab for some electronics and programming training I'm giving. Hadn't thought about putting everything inside of a Pelican case. Pretty slick idea though. Nice workmanship too.
... Oh wait! Where's the big blinky light?
