I haven't been on in forever, but I've been working a little on my T/34/85. I see a guy in Denmark is doing one also; it looks great.
I am drawing closer to having a rolling chassis, slowly but surely. The last couple days have seen a burst of activity. Between a computer build, my school's first robot (courtesy of Vex), and chores, I haven't gotten a lot done. But I'm close to finished with the tracks. I WILL finish this. Pictures will come with a designation on the website, I guess. Regardless of many issues (mistakes, problems, errors, failures, whatever), my tank has still managed to look cool! I hope that when I'm finished, though, I can do a good cosmetics job. This tank has already been a great learning experience, and if I build another it's sure to be a vast improvement because of the experience I've gained. I also noticed people talking about a "gyro stabilizer." I like that idea, but I have no finished tank and no knowledge of the technology except that it exists. I believe it was introduced in the Second World War, so surely someone can do it in a big model now. Has anyone integrated Arduino with their tank? I've never used it before, only PICAXE products. From what I hear, it would be a solid platform to help control a tank. Also--what about remote control systems? I have to admit I've never tried to put together one before, and I would love some input on what you guys think works best. By the way, Niels (Is that right?) from Denmark: amazing control system! I hope it works out for you! So, is the cost of feeding video to a controller prohibitive? I wouldn't have any idea how to do it, either, but there's always the Internet--in fact, my sole source of electronics information....
