Fractal [beetleweight]

Finally got round to finishing (or near enough) the beetleweight machine. Here's a few pictures.

It only weighs 760g currently, and as the drive is more than tough enough the rest of the weight is likely to go on even more armour (it's already got 3mm titanium on the scoop..) and a beefier lifting motor (currently lifts about 1kg at the end of the arm, which would be enough to tip a beetle over but carrying one would probably look more impressive).

Now just to wait to have somewhere to use it...

looks awesome

thats sooooooo cool
