The cylinders are a family secret so no build photos... Just kidding I'll take some pics of the pieces before I do the final assembly.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, maybe there will be "two of" next time!



I haven't really had much time lately but I finally had a day off again so I put in a little time on the Volvo and finished the cylinder and mounts for the thumb. I can't wait for the pump and valves to be finished so that I can plumb it and try it out! When it's all built I hope it works

Looking good! have you connected your sprockets directly to the gear motors? if so does this not put strain on the motor shaft?
