Pity, could have saved 200gr!
Not that it will matter much, I'm already 13.4kg, and I still need to pack the batteries, Co2, speed controller and wiring, top cover and worst of all - the titanium armour!
For the local competition its ok as 17kg is the limit, but after its over I'll go over the machine and trim excess material off. This build was done in too much of a hurry I had no time to get to details.
I'm done for now, Blastoff is almost complete but still untested, I'm particularly worried about the pneumatics because of the way the ram and flipper are mounted...have no idea if it will be strong enough to flip something or not... That's for my brother to discover now, gave him a good handover and he should finish it of by the end of the week.
In the meantime I'm packing up my bags (actually my wife is!) as tomorrow morning we're off to the Uk. Hope to meet up with you lads next Sunday at Golchester...![]()
