Robobuilder Metal Brackets #2 and Hip Pivot Kit

[PedroR]

Hi

We just got new pictures of the Metal Bracket set and also the Hip Pivot kit.

Apparentlly there will be 3 versions of the Metal Braket Set:
1- Metal Brackets for leg joints only
2- Metal Brackets for leg and arm joints + Chest protection
3- Metal Brackets for leg and arm joints + Chest Protection + Hip Protection (with Hip pivot kit) + Metal claws.

Here are the pictures:

1- Metal Brackets for leg joints only







2- Metal Brackets for leg and arm joints + Chest protection







3- Metal Brackets for leg and arm joints + Chest Protection + Hip Protection (with Hip pivot kit) + Metal claws.

Notice the Hip Pivot kit assembled here. Also note that these pictures display a Robot with a lot more servo's than the standard kit.







and before anyone asks, these kits are intended to make the robot ready to participate in Robo-one like competitions.
the plastic joint-insert assembly system works very well on day-to-day use. the metal brackets set is only needed if you want to re-inforce the robot for tough competitions (or if you like the aggressive looks )

we have new information regarding the availability dates of these kits:

- Kit 1 is already available but we don't have it currently in stock. It takes about 2-3 weeks for delivery.

- Kit 2 is expected by the end of August

- Kit 3 is expected in the beginning of September

One of the most FAQ is if it will be possible to upgrade for kit 1 to kits 2 and 3. According to information that is currently available this will not be possible. If you purchase kit 1 and later want the arm and chest protection you will need to purchase the whole kit (including all the parts: legs+arms+chest). The same goes for upgrading from kit 2 to 3.
