It's a She Thing

As its a no spinner event the cheese has its saw removed so it will be a lot easier to drive with out all the weight hanging off the back..its got a bit of 4x2 pine bolted on instead to give a bit of aerial protection . Hopefully i wil get some pics up of these bots soon so i can link them into all the Stats forms .

We havent done much with this robot for a while as Stewart lost interest in driveing for a while (he hate's sirtting in the car for 3 hours to the events )
He told me that he wants to drive it at robo wars .At the moment its completly striped out ready to put in its new wheapon the big saw is disaperaing of the back as it counter balances the robot and makes it hard to steer and it pops wheelis al the time which isnt good for a wedge .Its now geting a low profile wheapon which should give it better ballance .I just have to shift every thing around to make it fit .

Weapon test was scary

Well the wheapon is comeing along nicely almost have it fitted in the bot i mounted a compresor motor on it this morning and just have to make mounting blocks for the bearings and motor now ..might just cast them all out of fiberglass and resin mix . i might take out the drive motors and give them a mod while im at it as the cheese runs big dia wheels .

The wheapon is finished and is going i havent tested it on any thing while in bot as yet might just leave that part for Stewart at an event i need to do some work to the drives to make it go in a straight line but it will do for now until i get arouind to completly fixing both drive mounts properrly .stewart will just need to learn to drive it with out the saw and to make sure he lines the wedge up for atacking. The new wheapon is mounted in the center of wedge and is also invertable.

I gave the cheese schreder a bit of a run aat HOC on sunday i think a few people were impresed i curently have the 40 channel stufed radio in it so it had the jitters and dint drive unless i was close .... but no one else put their bots in the arena to test while i was running it

We still going to change the gearing? Or leave it where it is? I want to see it do things faster 12K or 20K sounds fast enough?

the cheese is prety well ready to go i might add a bit more armour if i get the time as this robot is still under 11kgs This robot should be ready for robo wars as well

I still have a few litle things to do on this one like add a bit more 1.5 mm stainles steel for armour but as is, its still ready to battle.

Radio problems are still hounding this robot although i turned it on this afternoon and gave it a drive and no glitches what so ever so what ever is doing it is an intermitat problem and gets worse as i drive it so might change the transmiter bateries when i get some fresh ones on town they have been in there since the last robo wars
