[bodiee]

[ThePred2012]

AWESOME UPDATES!

 

[A Hunters Moon]

Whoa, how I missed this I don't know. Looking awesome man. All the little details are coming together nicely!

 

[AlphaTech686]

Thanks all. I hope to get some good work done tomorrow so I can post some more updates.

 

[AlphaTech686]

A few new pictures. You can see the whole thing starting to come together.
The first one is the concept for the tip.

 

[AlphaTech686]

Sorry the pictures are so small. I was having trouble with Photobucket. I will try to get some better ones up tomorrow.

 

[AlphaTech686]

Ok I got some better photos up. Photobucket magically began to work.

 

[AlphaTech686]

I got all four panels done on one end of the spear body today. I feel pretty good about it.
The first photo looking straight down the body you can see the two side that have been
grooved out to except the spring loaded blades.

Oh man that thing is sweet! Best functioning spear I've seen yet. Will the whole thing be powered by a single battery?

[AlphaTech686]

Hey Brian, it looks like it will be 3-9volts in series.

 

[AlphaTech686]

Not much to show tonight. Built this little platform so when I am motoring it in and out it doesn't
slam into things on the workbench. The second photo is of the forward limit switch. As you can see
I made a couple of attempts. Electric motors tend to drift a short distance after being turned off
so I had to play a little.

 

[wonko]

Hey Brian, it looks like it will be 3-9volts in series.

Are you using Lipo batteries? If so, I may be able to help you out with at least one brand new one. I fly RC helicopters and received one as a gift that wont work with anything I fly. I would love to see it go to a good home and be put to use in something that is waaaaaaay more cool than a heli. Let me know...

Brian

 

[AlphaTech686]

Hey Brian, so what size is that battery? I have never really heard of those. How many volts?

 

[Eaglewood]

Jeff,
you are completely crazy in a great way!!! great build-- Spurring me to get back on mine!

 

[AlphaTech686]

All right I finally have something kind of fun to see. This is the video test of the 2 limit switches. I am waiting to place
the end tubes until right towards the end as they are time consuming to cable up. I already know that aspect works well.
So let me know what ya'll think. Thanks for looking and encouraging.

Jeff,
