well started building the new and improved cyborg yesterday, it should be finished on wednesday then all i gotta do is wire it up and such.
it is now invertable and have some nice fangs on the wedge part, 15 to 20mm steel fangs like to see someone rip them off, it has some wheel protectors dont know if they will work but keeps me happy to know i got some protection.
the front has been shortened i think around 10cm gives it more of a scoop to wedge with.
some pics of wat it is atm (bad quality still havent got myself a digital camera)
and this is andrews beetle weapon that we made yesterday aswell it is 18cm long and is made from 4mm steel same as what cyborgs shell is made out of, the teeth r very sharp found that out myself (again bad quality pic)

i picked up cyborg from my uncles today, and this is wat it turned out like
the teeth r welded, the frames bolts to the base nicely all holes from last event r filled and grinded smooth and is invertable: (very bad quality pics, still hunting down a digital camera)
whats left:
-make some new servo switches
-wire it all up
-make something to hold batteries down
-practice driving until battleshed _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:

hey its not mine so dont really care i just wanna get it going so i can destroy it lol
my beetle is lacking a belt aswell will try a few things and see if they work, problem with andrews is that the rubber bands have to stretch to far and snap easier _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:

um not exactly sure of the size i dont know how to measure it to get the size i need, its 65mm from the middle of each shaft, and has a 40mm pulley at one end and a 20mm pulley at the other and the belt needs to be 3mm or 3.5mm thick, if that helps _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:

Well mini-tread still hasn't been touched, and is ready to take on all comers. With belts or without.
I had thought of making it invertable, but that wouldn't be fun.
