In this part of the Razorback series, we are going to revisit the Pneumatic kickstands. First, we take a second look at the upper robotic arm and make some pretty dramatic tweaks.

This video is a bit longer than the others (sorry), but there’s some good modeling technique in there. We look at creating the brackets/cradles for the hydraulic rams of the Razorback. Before getting into that heavy modeling, we look at the approach I settled on for pivoting them into and out of position.
In this video we cover the modeling of the brackets that connect the steering servo gearboxes to the frame. While modeling the brackets, we get to use the Bridge tool to patch up geometry and focus on the benefits of using quads instead of triangles.
We also take a look at the kickstand placement taking issues such as ground clearance and style into account.
