Seriously! Not one can!?
Poor sloth :(
Designed next beetle, its going to be a mini nightmare style with 1 big disc and the 2 wheels out of the side
Had a few hours spare on the mill this afternoon and managed to do the disc its cut from a D2 tool steel offcut

looking really good Tom, where did you get the valve to go on the co2 cartridge?
The mini nightmare style beetle is coming on quite nicely , managed to get the chassis / disc support done today

Very nice :)
What wheels are they in the background ? I presumme those are Fingertech motors beside them ?
The wheels are the 35mm OD banebots from technobots and the motors are 12v 1000rpm gearbox motors from ebay
thats a damn fine machine you have there!
You guys are churning out beetleweights at a ridiculous rate! Won't be long before you have enough to fill a competition, let alone a battle :shock:
And I think 'excessively shiny robots' should be added to the Prohibited Weapons category :uhoh:
In all seriousness though, it looks great. Can't wait to see it churning stuff up.
