Looks like next Uk Champs we're going to have to put an even bigger St George's Cross on Bitza! And swap out the blue side for more red!

It was when I saw Bitza with the flag on the scoop that I thought it would be a good idea, but wasn't really going to do anything about it. Then, the scoop started rusting at an alarming rate and I sprayed a St Andrews cross on and then I got a bit carried away :lol: .
Its for the only Scottish event on the calendar, got to show a bit of patriotism!
haha, damn straight!
Sorry missed your comment last time I read this Lian, Its not hinged its just held on by those 4 allan bolts at the side. It was a very last minute addition when the draw for the Robochallenge event came out when we drew Buzzbar so it was never really intended to be an offensive weapon, just something to stop it getting completely wrecked. Nice and simple big chunk of metal Jamie found from his work and strapped it to the front of it.
Few photos of Daiske II so far, the Scorpion has stopped working but hopefully it will get sorted somehow.
Front scoop and top armour have been marked out ready to be cut but after that I have no HDPE left, so for Edinburgh at least, the side armour might end up being this horrible chipboard wood because its all I have left. Its weighs 6.5kg the way it is in this photo so already better than its original. Hopefully will be pretty close to the weight limit and be a useful rambot. Using ballast for this event too, 2 big chunks of some sort of plastic just to add weight, which will hopefully be replaced with a weapon at some point, but that is for another day!

looking nice!
Y'know what would be really nice? A lovely chunk of turbine baseplate stuck on the front there 8)
:lol: it would do, gotta be better than chipboard anyway. Maybe next time 8)
Some rough CAD's of the end result(ish)
