Great looking bot!

Love the printed parts. What printer are you using?
Very clean build and not just a pile of hot glue. Just the way I like it :slight_smile:
Keep up the good work!

3D Printer

Hi and thanks, for this build I used a Dimension uPrint desktop 3D printer (a great but quite expensive 3D printer which I fortunately have access to through work). All the CAD was done using Autodesk Inventor.

I have just started on a new project (Leonard) which is going to be a highly modified Prusa Mendel to try and save on personal print costs and gift provision for custom circuit board dev etc, funnily enough, my need was inspired by your timing belt tank, a great project by the way :slight_smile:

My guess…

… is that if your left joystick controls movement for the tracks, the head is controlled by the right joystick, right? I like how your lights can individually be turned on by the front buttons and that led lights up when the lower sensor spots something. Have you assigned any other buttons for different tasks? 

Awesome work, one of the greatest first robots I’ve seen.
