Really like the severe deflective angles u have used.
Also the wheels look like they have some traction to them.

motors now drive the wheels properly, and even mount to the frame nice and strongly Smile

The control system is all mounted, but not wired up yet. It's been tested in Woktronix though so it does work to some degree.

I need to make more of the armour, and then it'll be testing time Smile

It feels strange to work on a robot when there's more than a few days till the event Razz

Yeah, but the tricky thing is...that the more time you have up your sleeve to think about the damage thats going to be done to it, the more time you want to spend working on it . Rolling Eyes

I just assume all robots will get completely destroyed Razz

This one has a few extra safety bits to reduce damage, but if it comes home in a box I'll still have had fun Smile

would just like to know how you are going to control it if you cant actually see it; weather that works for or against you in a judges decision , best try for a knockout just to be on the safe side. Smile

w00t!

Controls are working, and it actually drives pretty well with the dodgy hack job control system Razz

Almost all the armour is finished now too.

extra w00t!

It's all working now, just needing some minor tweaks and paint.
The weapon is pretty scary, and will hopefully stay together Razz

I weighed it this morning, and it came up at 12.8kg, which I'm pretty happy about since I haven't weighed anything at all during construction Smile
