Well realised everyone was right and there was no way on gods earth I was going to get robot in weight. I decided to trim it right down and now the finished body is 800g. Also got motors and wheels etc. together so that was good. I have a scoop thing to go on the front. Am massively daunted by the other beetles and ummed and arred about calling it a day at the weekend. My girlfriend persuaded me to at least finish the body and running gear. She's right when she says it doesn't matter if you're amazing at something, if you're having a laugh keep having a go. So...to this end I've put a couple of pictures up. Tomorrow is going to be a case of cutting slots top and bottom for the wheels to poke through and putting the front wedgyprongthing on. Then in the afternoon put electrics in and cable it all.
