EDITED*

NEW INTERIOR DESIGN!!!
remade the servo switches out of some ply wood(ran under the house and broke the perspex ones oops), instead of using a small 7.2v 1400mAh Nicad rc car battery have changed to using an 18v 1800mAh Nicad battery.


and also u can see that my workbench is alot cleaner was bored today so i decided to do a bit of a clean up, the rest of the place is a mess but ill get there eventually

hose clamps are a pain in the arse, i use jeff style, cut out of a pice of ali angle. great work on getting ur bot going so quick, better than i did! *cue anguz laughing at me*

Oh god, that old signature was terrible...

ROFL indeed. They work better, but because he's using the drills in their case the ali angles wont work. Besides, they're also a pain in the arse to make, and I mean properly...

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

meh its only my first robot the hose clamps r doing its job so it dont bother me , they seem to be pretty strong had to cut the ones that were in those slots they would not break had to use the grinder(im lazy), if they do break ill try wat u do

ran cyborg today and decided to take a vid of it, doesnt go long because the wheel came off (need a bigger washer) and it started to spin around in circles near the end, i ran over my servo switch and switched it off (i lost control of the thing) so yeh other then that im happy with it goes nice and fast
oh yeh the shell for cyborg is in the proccess of being made should have it by next weekend and be ready for the first event should be good
gotta tweek a few things but that wont take long, gotta mount one of the batteries better (keeps flying out when i spin around heaps).
