Micro Pi Noon Balloon Holder by Cheltenham_Hackspace

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is the balloon holder to go with the Micro Pi Noon bot, allowing easy and quick replacement of balloons between battles, the wire pin holder is made from a bent coat hanger with epoxy putty used to hold on hte pin, or in this case needle, bent to give a loop at hte rear gives a good mounting point for the baloon holder which is held in place by a couple of tie wraps.
The original wire pin holder was not as good being strait and held in place by screw in the rear of the bot chassis, this was improved by adding the two 90 degree bends and tie wrapping it to the plastic support, this makes a much better more sturdy platform for the pin and balloon holder.
To use - push balloon neck into cone and use BLUNT instrument to push far enough through to pull neck through base hole, in case you do not have a blunt instrument, I have included a "pusher" which seems to do the job nicely
