Going to start building feather number 2 "Rollcage" so thought I would put my sketch up. 90% of the time it was Rag N Bones internal frames n shields etc. that stopped big damage. To that end I'm gonna have a go with just a baseplate with a roll cage type frame with bits of plating over the dear bits. Sketch has spikes but scoop is possible, just having a think. Will more than likely have a big nimh pack and two 18V drill motors. Anyway, picture as mentioned.

I think that frame design's a very good call, because the only weapon that could go through the cage is an overhead spike, which I don't think any feathers have. Use steel chunky enough and it might even become Tiny Hurtz-proof!
As for a scoop, maybe you should make it detachable so you can change the configuration between fights if you want.
