Thank you for provoking me!

Now I have a video camera without sound, because it got snow in it.

And a completely destroyed Trata II!

Final video shows parts of this destruction :slight_smile:

Now I dare youto make a ramp for Tiny Tim!

-LOL!!!

remote

I donā€™t know if there is already a page with the answer to this question, but how did you get the bot to work with you r/c remote?

Also, those are some bona fied knitting needles!

This is NOT a "robot"

This is NOT a ā€œrobotā€ - it is posted as ā€œSomething elseā€.

If you click the link to more info in the post, you will find the first version of this, and the explanation:

I had an old RC car. I took out the electronics, and put it together like this, with a propellar.

It is essentially the same RC car, I just took away the wheels and chassis, and added some new stuff, like a propellar.

This is just a very simple thing, for fun. Take your old RC, rip the electronics, and put it in use for something else fun, that is what it is about :slight_smile:

Yes to your question.
Yes to your question.

GEES!! what did she
GEES!! what did she knit?!?!!? :smiley:

You know - womens magazines

You know - womens magazines - "You should try this really nice thing"ā€¦ she tried, and I got the sticks :smiley:

However, as written somewhere else, I have seen these in knit-hobby-stores (that I of course visit all the time :D) - they should be easy to get hands on.

Increase the angle

Hi Fritsl,

I have been playing arround with prop driven vehicles a little, next one try and make the prop lean backward (from a side view) about 20 degrees. Youā€™ll be pleased with the power increase :wink:

Cool! Post soon :slight_smile:

"This is NOT a robot" heheh
Reminds me of a conversation between a man and a woman on the couch. ; )

Amazing! Iā€™ve got a crashed

Amazing! Iā€™ve got a crashed RC plane in the closet, along with an old RC car I donā€™t use anymore (remember Herpe?). So many parts I can harvest. Why did it never occur to me to build something fun with them?

Sadly, we donā€™t get nearly as much snow as you do ā€“ we did get about 6" last week, and that stuck around for a few days, but it finally all finished melting a few days ago. I missed my chance!

But I really like the ā€œslide around rather than rollā€ approach. I live near a lake ā€“ maybe Iā€™ll make an airboat, more like Trata 1. I guess that means Iā€™ll also have to make a full-size boat, so I can go get the R/C boat when it flips over or the battery runs out :slight_smile:

Thereā€™s definetly potential

Thereā€™s definetly potential in boats!

And some choises to be made; sailing in or on watherā€¦ Letā€™s see what you come up with, I guess I will have to make a boat myself! (When the ice melts)

Or you could go out and buy

Or you could go out and buy some new swimming kit instead of a full sized boat :wink: I used mine a lotā€¦

Biggest problem with most boats is that they dont really like water. Engines and controllers need to be pretty big (they draw quite some amps) or youā€™ll burn out lotā€™s of $$$ :frowning: (or you can just go really slowā€¦ but looking at the Trata thatā€™s not the funniest option)

If itā€™s to cold you could always use the good old fishingrod with a tennisball instead of a hookā€¦ (make a little hook to grap on your boat)

Hereā€™s a little boat I build from balsa, a hydroplane, probably the closest you will get if you want to be ā€œaboveā€ the water :slight_smile: It does about 50km an hour with a standard car engine (540 size, 13 turns).

My wife bought our son one

My wife bought our son one of these boats for Christmas. Itā€™s been too cold to try it out yet, but I immediately thought about hacking it with some intelligence.

However, these boats are pretty fast. I wonder what sort of sensors Iā€™d need to keep the robot ahead of the changing environment.

Or I just need to wait for my son to crash it really bad so I can get to the parts. ; j
