the latest with my mech arm and charger port…

17 02 2009

No, I havent fallen of the face of the earth, lol. I’m just finishing up the final touches on the mech arm and charger port. You’d be amazed how much work and though that goes into making it all work. From the outside you can only imagine how I got it all to work. But, on the inside you’ll find my “solution” …well…huh…were slightly unconventional. No suprises, its just overly expensive to have vex robotic parts shipped to sweden. Lego mindstorm on the other hand has very similar parts. I’m not using there r/c nor programing stuff, but the gears and motors are perfect.  I’ll post some more info, pics and perhaps video after the weekend.

Thanks Jason…The tricky part was to make enough place in there for both “devices”. I guess that’s why you never see both parts activated in SW at the same time. There really just isn’t any room. That panel size is fixed. But after a lot of thought and measuring I managed to squeeze it all in there. I guess one could say its about 80% thought and about 20% the actual building. It should be done by the weekend.
