Thanks Chris. I managed to have a few hours in the shed today, after finishing some work on some friends computers. So I thought it was time to knock something up for the next event, and quick! So I just looked at the roll of duct tape on the bench and looked at the bits of crap on the shed floor. 1hour later, you get what's in the photo... I think with 4 rolls of duct tape for armour, it should be invincible**

you would be suprise at the (my) reasons behind keeping a roll of the stuff in a first aid kit, who need a bandaid/bandage when you got one of thies around _________________ For West ausies interested in robotics email me at: theoneshrug@hotmail.com

It's gonna be an all-nighter on Friday getting LE finished.
Things left to do:
Cut wheel slots
Make Micro switch unit
Mod radio with regulator
Duct tape top cover on
Duct tape batteries in
Add Duct tape wedge.
Micro Switch controllers 50% complete, just need to solder 3 more wires and mount them with more duct tape (shock mounting). _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Yes Well the duct tape binds the whole robot together. When my Spektrum Radio arrives, I'll be able to add the extra 3 wires and give it a test drive... Might add some cutting board while I'm at it... _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
