Nyx, Sportsman, and Dragon*Con
30 lb Bot – Part 2
● by Mike Jeffries
Monday
With a fresh pile of parts and
Motorama just over a month away,
I got a quick jump on assembling
Nyx. The first part that was
assembled was the weapon hub
which also led to the discovery of
the first problem. The 3D model
of the sprocket for the weapon
supplied by McMaster-Carr had
the wrong hole pattern. With the
spacing off, only three of the six
holes would be usable.
The assembled side rails with
countersunk screws, Nutstrip,
and a few hex standoffs.
