Something doesn't sound right in that video, like there is a lot of friction somewhere... Looks great but its not as smooth as past years.
Still looking good though, some nice exposed Aluminium to chew on at the front

Oh I dunno, it sounded pretty rough last year :P



There are a few things contributing to the roughness. The belt's still quite tight, the front of the brushless motor is slightly distorted so I don't think it's sitting flush in the mount, therefore the belt's not on the pulley completely square, there was some lateral movement in the drum, the bearings had a little crud still in them and the divider plate between the drum and the innards sits loose so the vibration from the weapon causes it to rattle. I'll be sorting as many of those issues as I can before the champs but as long as it spins and spins reliably, I'm not overly worried about noise. The rougher it is, the louder and more intimidating it sounds

Onyx is doubtful at the moment Adam. Reaver currently possesses its front scoop, battery packs, weapon controller and ESCs and it has no drive motors. However, I've got five full days before we leave to build stuff and while most of the attention will be given to Drumroll and Reaver, I'm half tempted to bodge Onyx back together, as it is ridiculously fun to play with. Plus we need the axe-off.

And that still makes me chuckle too. The audience reaction is just as much fun to watch, especially from some of the other camera angles
