Team Pushover - Pullover (Ant)

[Retroman]

So, after much procrastination, here goes my first build...

Pullover is an Ant variant of my intended Feather, a 2 wheeled front hinge flipper, the general idea is use a central spine and wrap some armour around it (that doesn't sound quite right, but all will become clear... I hope)

Some parts haven't arrived yet, I'm still waiting on the motors, and haven't decided what to do about radio gear BUT I couldn't wait and made a tentative start...

I'm going to be using a NanoTwo V3, got some 2s LiPo's, managed to snag a handful of 9g servos, and various bits of scrap plastics from a skip or two.

The belly pan section in the photos are just me playing with ideas, it wont be going all the way to the front to save weight, it only needs to hold the electronics in, and so far parts and roughly half of the fittings come to 74g, need to add some for the motors, RX, and the arm and it might come in at 164g if my maths is right, but there's plenty of scope to save weight.

Lets see if I can make pictures work...

EDIT: managed to drop a pic in, also may or my not scrap the spine...
