Arh! I wanted to shoot a new video in sunshine and everything. So I found a time where I could film it, and I started by having a little fun.. and then it tipped over, while sliding around.. and the propellar broke!! i don't have another here now, so no video!
(if you have a propellar that you can spare, i would be happy :)
Original post:
So, Del Rudolph have just opened the option for posting "Something Else" on LMR, and I wanted to be first!
2 hours to build, filmed in the dark, edited and uploaded while eating!
Basically I had the motor and RC-hookup from an ol RC car that had crashed it's last time.
i took the propellar from a plane that also had it's last crash, cut some polystyrene and mixed it all with tape, wooden sticks and polymorph.
I asked my daughter what it should be named, and she replied "Trata!" (i think it may because she was talking about something else, she has a thing going about tractors thee days)
It was impossible to film and control at the same time, crap video, I know. Maby I will get to make a better one on a sunny day. And maby it can sail on water as well?
OH! Bummer, I forgot to include letsmakerobots.com on video and picture, ■■■■■■ sorry! (Let's hope it doesnt end up on any blogs in the form it is :)
What I figured but I wasn’t What I figured but I wasn’t sure if it came with side effects. If I had a prop and more importantly snow I’d love to make one of these.
Ah - I first thought it might be a hover craft - and if you have enough power, would that be a fun/worthwhile modification?
maybe just pointing the pusher fan directly down and adding a skirt, but maybe you’d need another fan to steer - or you can just duct the main fan to push it around about?
