oh dear. I seem to have built a penguin themed robot

well, finaly got off my rear and got something 'propper' well, its a bit rubbish and will almost certianly be smushed in combat, but its slightly better than some of my other atempts which would have fallen apart if you coughed near it.
the best and most structaly sound part in it is the lifter grabber, which was made for voodoo.
drive is wheelchair motors, escs are 4qd's, the batterys are sla's and the armour is a mix of hdpe 15mm and 10mm thick.

will atempt to get it running asap

If only the forum had a like button.

Considering your love of weird names, may I suggest: Penguin Landmine Warrior?

Looks awesome! Will it be at Maidstone?

Oh, Harry.

:lol:

Haha love it! You should give it cam shaped wheels so that it woddles as it drives.

Harry, don't knock yourself down. It is your first attempt and you have something that runs. That is no mean achievement.

Learn from it, have some fun and your next attempt will be so much better.

We all had to start somewhere and there isn't a roboteer anywhere that will not admit his first attempt was cr*p.

Trev

Thank you very much for the kind words people, thanks :)
