[TC6] Civil Titan tank bridge layer

[jeanska79]

Hi everyone,

for this contest I realize a bridge layer's tank, inspired by the Titan tank.

The funcion are:

R track - XL motor

L track - XL motor

Stabilizating turret (up and down) - L motor with one big linear actuator

Bridge layer arm - M motor with two big linear actuator

The model is quite finished, just the last touch up and the last photo/video...

Follow a preview, hope you like it!

The laying and lifting of the bridge are fastened to 4x, so not many time to wath it...

I like very much the supercar that partecipate to the contest, but I want to realize something I've never seen surfin' on web, so I realize this biiiiiiig tank.

Weight: 2100 g for tank, 500g for bridge, total over 2,6 kg

Measure:

tank: 46 x 23 cm, h 15 cm, 18 cm with bridge loaded

39 (plus 15 stud for elevating turret) x 28 stud

bridge: 45 x 22 cm

55 x 27 stud

Previously I said that I want to realize somithing I've never found on web...

so I made the mechanism by using linear actuator, like in the real tank...

For the turret and the arm I use chebyshev linkage, because I need a wide angolar range.

yesterday night I was too tired to post it, sorry...

It has been a hard work, expecially because I'm not a very experienced master constructor...

I hope to take at least one vote this time...

I forgot to report here the TC6 video link, with the bridgelaying action...

It's not a great video, with my child on background, sorry, I made it really in the short time I've had...
