Cargo Loader

[@davidmarkley3015]

You should consider adding some hazard strips to the loader. You might have some strips left over from your Stargrave scenario buildings.

Nice idea! Gotta see if I have any left over...

[@georgeokalahan5442]

A suggestion: you could try putting some heavy metal screws inside the bottom of the arms to use as counter weights, securing them with hot glue to prevent them moving inside the arms.

Brilliant! Very inspiring. I need to make my own cargo lifter bot for my battlefield now...

You can do it - share some photos on the TTE Facebook Group.

@@TheTabletopEngineer Thanks. I'm not on Facebook anymore. Is there anywhere else that does the same thing?

[@brucelammers6649]

Loved how it turned out; to age it more one could add multiple colors of scrapped off, or chipped paint from the cargo containers to the holding platform.

[@tonynunya8063]

Love the imagination in this. Looks like something you might see in one of those animated robot movies. I wonder if there is a way to improve the appearance of the chipboard corners and joints though.

It looks like it came out of Thunderbirds or Space 1999!

[@TheTabletopEngineer]

Ooooh... I may look at some old videos for inspiration.

I think a ship crewed by Jawa would be really interesting.........

Jawas in Space????

I did 3D print some greeblies with my Ender 3!

[@TheTabletopEngineer]

I've got some ideas, too.

[@toddzircher6168]

Why chains? So you can move the lift plate to vertical and use it as a pusher plate. :-)

[@jktechwriter]

Exactly.

[@kingodacheez3416]

Failsafe chains. Similar to elevator blocks that mechanically catch the car if the main brakes fail...

Antigravity fork lift!
