Patches the robot

TheCowGod just said it -

TheCowGod just said it - very polite.

As you know from my private messages to you, I am not that polite, but the idea is the same. I will just add up: You are not going to build a robot without soldering at all. So chose; Face soldering or find another hobby :slight_smile:

You will never get past a
You will never get past a breadboard without soldering.

Those motor/gearboxes looks

Those motor/gearboxes looks sweet, where did you find’em? price, brand name, any other info?

You’ll have to excuse fritsl and the rest of us Scandies. We’re not rude. It’s just that the semi-arctic climate makes us speak loud and in short sentences. And that doesn’t make for delicate conversations or unnessecary niceties. But we love you just the same, I’m sure.

The picture isn’t helping

The picture isn’t helping much. It is slightly out of focus, all the wires are the same colo, so it is to much work trying to find out what pin number goes where… I can’t even tell where pin1 is, because it is impossible to see any markings on the chip

Those spindle things defeat
Those spindle things defeat the whole purpose of wheels.

Use your fancy motors that
Use your fancy motors that you got.

no you dont understand
you dont seem to understand i am using the same motors and gear box from the original, thing is i dont no how to attach anything to the shafts of the gear box.

Here i have used fish tanktubing and some 3mm bored tube but it still slips a little on the axle ive tried hot glue and everything nothings working :(.

What were those wheels on
What were those wheels on there?

**they where lego **
They where lego but they where all wonkey and wasnt very stable. Also they came loose

If worst case comes across you can buy a new gearbox.

**I’m not to shur **
I’m not to shur I dont even have a soldering iron i broke mine ages ago haha a chalenge sounds good though maybe people will do the chalenge for the sport of it not for the prize ?

Cool

I will set up a challange then. Give me some time to work out the small stuff and post it a day or so.

Hey that is a splendid
Hey that is a splendid prize! I sure could use a new (used) soldering iron!!
