This
is the beginning of Hooloovoo's frame before being riveted together The
back was later cut down an inch for a smaller back plate, and the hinges
were ditched in favor of a static wedge. |
Here
is the same shot but with most of the components in. The drive motors are
2.4v B&D drivers running at 4.8v, and a Fury Rx. |
This
is a shot of the bottom Lexan plate after I finished riveting the frame
to it at 11:00PM. |
Here's
a nice clean shot of my custom 3" wheels and hubs I made and also the wedge
material (which will be cut down to size later) |
This
is a decidedly 'dirtier' shot after attaching the back steel plate by tapping
it and screwing in the 1/4"-20 screws. Also in the pic is the attached
Lexan part of the wedge which I heated and bent, then tapped with the same
screws. |
This
is the back 1/8" steel plate attached to the frame. It looks ugly now..
but just wait for it's pretty paint job :-) |
This
is what my 'shop' looks like while building two robots in it for 2 weeks
straight...
See if you can spot:
-
Hooloovoo
-
Kris v2
-
Orange B&D driver
-
dremel
-
Team Toad sticker :-)

This
is a close up of the wheel / hub set up I made... I'm proud of it, don't
know why. |
Here's
the result of a $60 mistake... two burned out ES-01's... Looks like Hooloovoo
will be using Kris's Blasts for this event.. |
The
pretty paint job on the front.. |
The
internals... I just stuck the Blasts in there, and you can see the big
futaba Rx sticking up looking very vulnerable after I fried my Fury Rx. |
This
is Hooloovoo's current state, after the HoN, proudly displaying his battle
scars. |
