Chris claims he didn’t design these to stack and exactly fit in a Vivaro! #hackyracers

Robert Llewlleyn ’pushing’ Hacky Racer ‘Every Little Helps’ between races. Just had my most exciting moment mid-race when this shopping trolley conversion toppled over on a bend right ahead of me. Driver unharmed as I only drifted into him a little bit as I tried to stop in a hurry on the gravel. #hackyracers

Looking forward to more racing mayhem today at Everything Electric in Cheltenham. More racers than yesterday, same small narrow circuit! #hackyracers

I’m spending two days as a guest racer with the Hacky Racers at Everything Electric. I’ve been recruited to race Rule Zero (the fire engine themed racer built by Mark Mellors) for the event. My first time on a loose gravel track. This is going to be ‘interesting’. #hackyracers

The start of the ‘night’ race yesterday evening. The rain stopped just long enough for an evening race with lights on. #hackyracers

A taste of what is going on at the #hackyracers meet at #SantaPod raceway.

@rpimag I hosted the #HackyRacers autonomous robotics racing meet over the weekend. Lots of #RaspberryPi and Pico brains in robots, and a load of fun had. #MakerMonday

I’m not sure how it steers when the front wheels are not actually touching the ground! #hackyracers

SLO-Mo action from yesterday. Looking forward to more #hackyracers action today.

@MakersHour Hi I’m Footleg. This week I’ve mainly been working on preparing for the #hackyracers autonomous robotics racing event this weekend. Tonight has been spent filing down 3D prints and working through the #MakersHour questions backwards.

A few more QR code gates to make today for #hackyracers autonomous competition.

It looks an absolute beast, but the drive chain and steering fail in almost every way. I just tried to make it move with the wheels on and the motor is so fast that it doesn’t have the torque to even move it, and the steering servo doesn’t have the torque to move the steering at all if the wheels are touching the ground. #HackyRacers

Apparently all we need now is a carrot on a stick and it'll go where we want! #hackyracers

I haven’t got my robot mobile yet, but we have built a test course and taken Brian’s robot for a spin. #hackyracers

Well it printed beautifully. Now let’s see if all that late night CAD iterating has got everything in the right positions. #hackyracers

Over a month on, I have not been idle on this project. The positioning of the steering and suspension assembly took a lot of tweaking to get right with my actual parts dimensions. But the suspension travel now works without the wheels tilting in an out. Then I had to make the drive components and servo fit around all this. Adding ribs for rigidity. Space is tight, but I'm getting there. #HackyRacers

Pleased with today's work. I designed a mounting system for QR codes to be used as gates for the #HackyRacers autonomous robotics racing event in a few weeks time. We need around 50 of these gates, so the design needed to be weather proof, low cost, low effort and possible to make from scratch on site in case any gates have 'accidents' during the racing.

A lot of progress on the CAD model for my #HackyRacers A2 class autonomous racer since I last posted about it. Parts for the steering linkages arrived and tonight I measured and modelled these. So now I have a working CAD steering assembly to tune the dimensions of.

How did things get so complicated! Many iterations later, I am printing my final-final-final test fit parts. #HackyRacers #CAD
