The beetle arena build is drawing to a close so now I can actually start to think about other things, the first of which is our first non spinner robots.

Going for small but strong. Dual GR01's driven by a Dual 25A Sabertooth, 6S 400mAh lipo as power and a 30V, 4500N, 100mm stroke actuator. I am torn at the moment between a 4 bar lifter and a crabber/crusher but that will mainly depend on what materials I can get my hands on. Unlike C3 and Binky this build will be more C1 and C2 style with HDPE and Polycarbonate making up most of the robot.

Will work on some CAD models but I think I will spend more time building prototypes in MDF this time as we now have an actual workshop space!
