Hydraulics Working! - Logging Robot
🕑 Added 2023-12-25 19:59:56 +0000 UTCI managed to get my brain untangled and figured out the hydraulics on the Forrest Robot. My diagram was correct, but the solenoids were labeled wrong. I still have not figured out the throttle, but we'll get it.

You’re a smarter man then me.

Someone p-touched it the wrong way!

It was industrial sabotage.
Watch Wes Work
Good idea. I'll get one tomorrow.

As long as its not pointing/running towards the propane tank out back, should be fine.

How about a quick raw video for us Patreon crazies?
Eric Corse
Well done

We were never in doubt. You have to scratch that itch until you solve it.

Maybe hand tool rescue can loan you a sketchy old chainsaw and your in business! Merry Christmas Wes.
Jeff Chandler
Never doubted you. You knew something was wrong and it was just a matter of time before you got things sorted out. Nice challenge!

More or less. Hit me about 11:30 last night (Christmas Eve).

Was it one of those middle of the night Eureka moments?

Few things make me nervous but, the thought of this beastie running amok is one of them. How about rigging a dead mans switch which dumps a co2 fire extinguisher in the air intake?

Hopefully the robot gets up to some speed when the engine is not running near idle. Since the demo of the claw was nice to look at, but certainly of no practical value for actual logging.
Craig Fetherling
Glad to hear. Looking forward to the new logging channel!
Sam Ellison
Nice work
Jon Koferl

David Yates
As expected Wes!

Nice. I vote for more Forest Robot content!
JJ Smiles
That's awesome.

Yes! Same here, occasionally a "focus break" is required (nuclear term!). Plus now with a PR video, you know how big a log you can move and that you can remotely clean the snow off your driveway from the comfort of your garage. Merry Christmas!
Max Chaplin
Can't wait for the next video. Merry Christmas to you all Wes 🍻

Let's gooooooooooooo. Time to skid some wood!!! All you need for throttle is: wide open.
Stephen mowrey
Glad you are making progress, it’s a really cool project and takes lots of your skillset to make it happen. Impressive
Zakari Levert
