HPA Tank // Devlog 1

This is a tank I’m creating that will(hopefully) be able to drive on uneven terrain using tank tread, fire plastic darts with a width of 0.5 inches using HPA, and reload without external help, all while being remote controlled.

What I’ve done so far:

• Picked out & ordered the parts needed for the firing system.
• Drew up a basic blueprint of the firing system with thread sizes and some other technical information.
• Made a grossly oversimplified model of the firing system in CAD.
• Made a CAD model for a stand which will hold the firing system during the testing phase.

What’s next?

Once all the parts arrive, I’ll build the firing system, 3d scan it, and test it.

Overall, most of the time I’ve spent leading up to this devlog has been fighting with Hackatime and Platformio to get them to work properly. Other than that, I’m really excited to finally start working on this project.(as this is my first major project I’d be happy to receive any suggestions or helpful tips for using GitHub, Fusion360, Markdown, e.c.t.)
