Lego robot wars: recyclopse

[PKW]

As promised (I know I'm a bit late ) my new project! Recyclopse from robot wars

it was a big roundish bot with an exendible tongue that has a flipper hided into it, Made with recyled materials: recycl-opse

As usual i start building from the aesthetics, because i have few pieces to make that green shield, this is the shield with the tongue and a try to put electronics inside

I used dark green bricks (the only i have) that has the same color of the real one but the result is a piramidal shape, fit everything in will be an hard challenge

I thought about three options:

-one RC motor (pump+valve) for the flipper, L/M motor for tongue extension

-one M motor for the flipper; one L motor for tongue extension

-one XL motor for tongue extension, at the end of the travel two strings linked to the chassis will act the flipper

(M motors are for the wheels, trough chains)

hope I can make sole tries asap, last hope is to make a 2 section angulation for the shield (=more space) but this means gray shield or maybe with mixed pieces...

receivers will replace that green transparent brick

Neat. For some reason, reminds me of the daleks and Dr Who.

I've made some important progress; what I've built is a test chassis with the pneumatic tongue, it works fine but it doesn't fit into the shield

real chassis:

hided tongue:

showed tongue:

here is the autovalve:

and without electronics this is the part of the chassis that fit into the shield:

testrun video will be uploaded soon! :wub:

Are you putting a body back on it? So far it looks pretty good, although I would have stayed away from the small chain links.

Also, season 6 of BattleBots starts on June 21!

Looking good, although I think you could have an air tank, to get faster flipping action.

I want To be American :(

chain are To emulate The real one, And also they work better that gears

yes i'm going To put The body on The MKII chassis, with a small LA to move the flipper

Looking good, although I think you could have an air tank, to get faster flipping action.

unfortunatelly i don't have neither an airtank nor space To fit It in
