Trippy Power
The new Trippy is to use Makita rechargeable batteries. |
We took one of the chargers apart to see what was inside. |
The schematic looks like this. |
Trippy Fabrication
The new Trippy will have the frame/body made of cake pans. |
The parts will fit inside like this. |
We needed to do some precision machining. So we made a center finder. |
Then Ron showed us how to get 120 degrees by drawing circles. |
Here is the result. |
So now we needed to cut out the precision template. |
And transfer the 3 points to the base plate. |
Then using the straight edge we had the 3 center lines for the wheel mechanisms. |
We need a hole for the motor cables right here. |
Out comes the high decibel slotting tool. |
The base with the wheels attached. |

Ron's Stuff
Ron aquired a laptop computer and needed a cord. So he made one. |
Here is the new cord in action. |
He also found these small motors. One of these days he will show up with one that needs a microscope. |
