Epic Flail

As the name suggests I'm going to be doing something a bit different with the next bot. This is going to be a beetle weight flail bot, and honestly the deciding factor in choosing it over something with a more effective weapon was the name (as far as I know, not currently in use - fingers crossed as I've started ordering flails)

Should be a bit of fun, whether it does any damage or not we will have to see.

Plans are fairly standard 2 x 15mm HDPE bulkheads, 6mm polycarb, 73mm wheels and a mystery brushless I picked up cheap on eBay. The CAD files aren't quite right yet, but this will give you an idea of where I'm going. The 3D image was done on 123D design the free app, took a bit of getting my head around but pretty pleased with the results.
