I have the start of a drive train. All modelled using dimensions I have actually measured now my parts orders have started to arrive. #HackyRacer
Alright! Things finally all fit together!
#Robotic #HackyRacer
What I learned from last nights experiments:
- Fan on the ESC is much louder than the brushless motor it is driving.
- All the nice CNC alloy parts I ordered are smaller than the 3D printed parts I planned to substitute them for.
Looks like I’ll have a set of parts suitable for a #PiWars size robot for the future, but too small for my A2 class #HackyRacer

@rpimag I started CAD work on my first fully autonomous #raspberryPi robot. An A2 class #HackyRacer to compete in the robotics racing series event in April. I am starting with a 4WD suspension based on the #OpenRC car V5 design by #CreativeElectronics https://linktr.ee/CreativeElectronics adapted to be an off roader. #MakerMonday
Hitchin HackspaceMark Mellors has been offering folks a chance at driving his A4 Class #HackyRacer "Mazda FPV" using a VR headset
Also big thanks to @recantha for this footage via his YouTube channel of this morning's full size #HackyRacer racing

hackadayThis #HackyRacer's 4 driven wheels give it impressive pulling power! https://hackaday.com/2018/08/25/the-electric-vehicles-of-electromagnetic-field-the-selby/ source: https://twitter.com/hackaday/status/1033353809861455878
This tidy little retro themed #HackyRacer will be aiming for the chequered flag! https://hackaday.com/2018/08/12/the-electric-vehicles-of-electromagnetic-field-the-dustbin-7/ source: https://twitter.com/hackaday/status/1028687612037529600
