i was just surfing the net and i found this...its really great.

do you think you can make a vid on how to make a simple pneumatic arm

[yz509]

you need to rig it up so you can have a body on it and have the arm coming out of the bed

Great project!! awesome.

[Daaaaaaaaw]

really great job....its amazing...but i would prefer to use electric arm instead of pneumatic for this kind of usage, or maybe hydraulics...but that is definitely gr8 :)

[lamiisha05]

I agree, hydraulics would be a lot better. In fact, if I had the budget I would have used hydraulics. For the cost, pneumatics seemed to work fine for this little project. Thanks for the comment.

great work of the robot arm good job:-)

Hi, somebody just posted a question about whether or not this thing could hold a video camera. I accidentally deleted the comment. Instead of clicking reply, I clicked remove by mistake. But to answer the question, yes this thing should definitely be able to hold a video camera.

I am bulding an Rc project with a Pnuematic system for a peripheral too. Could you email me how you hooked up your compressor to the cylinders to make it co controllable please. I just want to be able to lift and lower, ie pump the cylinder for up and release and let gravity compress it.

Wow! This guy is awesome! I have been working on similar plans to add a servo-based arm to a highly modified TLT crawler (sort of a mini version of the TXT), and in searching for inspiration, came across this video. Its making me want to rethink my own arm design! Would you be willing to share any more information (design plans??? :) I wouldn't know the first thing about going with pneumatics! Fun!

[lamiisha05]

Hi, I'll send you some info on this truck through your youtube message system. Thanks

[whiteXXXchicks]

great job!

[lamiisha05]

Thanks! I need to make a better video. Hopefully I will do that soon.

[minibaby1234567890]

tis is a cool video. legos are awsome crawlers are awsome. put them together you get something really cool

[trimmadinferno]

Its one of the coolest thing i ever seen :)

[lamiisha05]

Thanks

Kaliteli bir robot değil, en azından görüntüsüne göre. Kasılıyor taşı kaldırırken , ayrıca sistemini pek orjinal bulmadım, 7 kanal RF ile kontrol edilen bir robot orjinal tasarlanmamış demektir. Tek sistem kullanırsın, kumanda ile RF arası tek kanaldan işlemciye komutu gönderir yaptırmak istediğini yaptırırsın, ayrıca eleman bir taşı kaldırmak için kasıyo kendini 1 saat tuşlara basıyor.

Uzun Lafın KISASI BEĞENMEDİM...!!!

Seems to be the next Mars-Exploring-Vehicle!!!!!!!!­! Nice idea, the NASA or ESA needs you, friend! ;-)

[lamiisha05]

That would be a fun project!

[rawritspawel]

very nice work :]

how many channel radio? :D

[lamiisha05]

Thanks. 8 channel, and I am only using 7 so far. I am probably going to use the 8th channel for some outriggers to stabilize it, but for now the 8th channel is being used to let the air out of the tank when I'm done.

dude is that a lego claw thats freakin cool

[lamiisha05]

Yeah, I plan to make a different claw, but for now the Lego pneumatics work great. The valves on this machine are also Lego pneumatic valves. They valves can only handle about 70 psi. With better valves, the truck could lift more. Right now it can lift about 4 lbs and the Lego claw can easily hold that.

[ilikefire90]

thats freakin cool dude... ive been studying rc truck and is that a hpi wheely king all pimped out

[lamiisha05]

Thanks. It's the Tamiya TXT-1 kit with a lot of my own engineering, but it does have the Wheely King wheels and tires on it.

[ilikefire90]

close enoph

[kenericjdog]

man thats amazing how long did it take you to make it

[lamiisha05]

Thanks! It took me all summer, working on it here and there when I had the time.
