Here is part of the assembly instructions for the metal brackets kit (leg parts):
http://robosavvy.com/RoboSavvyPages/Rob ... sembly.pdf

The full assembly instructions for the Robobuilder Metal Brackets Kit are scheduled to be released by Robobuilder in the week of May 11th.
I will post them here once I have them.

I chose to post the partial instructions already so you can get a better idea of how the kit was designed and built and how it compares to the standard joint-insert assembly system.

The Metal Brackets Kit is now available in store here http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... cts_id/533 . Here is a picture:

I apologise for the delay between the announcement and the appearance of the items in store but I've been involved in internal management tasks for the past 2~3 weeks that took more time than I expected.

I have finally been able to add everything to store.

<strike>I also added a "High Torque / High Power Upgrade Pack" that is basically a:</strike>
1x LiPo Kit
1x Set of Metal Gears 1,2&3 for wCK 1108
1x Pack of 4 Metal Gears 1 for wCK 1111

EDIT: The above kit is not available at this time; you can still get all the metal gears in our store if you're looking for an extreme reliability experience but we no longer have the LiPo.
We have put together a Metal Gear Upgrade guide here
http://robosavvy.com/RoboSavvyPages/Rob ... eGuide.pdf so you can find out what you need for your upgrade.

It's basically one item that includes all the necessary parts for the High Torque upgrade as I had discussed in previous posts. I believe this should make it less complicated to get the necessary items for the upgrade. (After this initial release phase we will probably work towards simplifying the metal gears / lipo sku's a bit. )

Most likely you will also need the Set of Metal Gears 4 for Robobuilder - http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... cts_id/530 -
because you'll probably have one of the early models that came with Gear 4 in plastic.

The bottom line is that for high torque you need an 11V power supply and servos with ALL metal gears.

Here is a video of a Robot with the Metal Brackets + LiPo + Full Metal Gears:

This was advertised as the 5740K robot but indeed once you apply the Metal Brackets and the Lipo + Metal Gears your robot will become essentially similar (in terms of looks and speed) to the one above.

Pedro.
