Did some more fiddling yesterday.



The steel was a pain in the behind to bend, just don't have the right tools and work surfaces to do it. It came out alright though. It's really heavy, as I expected, at over 200g for the steel alone. I'll be lightening it eventually.

The reason it's seemingly so oversized is because I'm building it to allow for the larger tyres shown above. 30mph is just too attractive a prospect to ignore! The gap between the two folds behind the motor is to take 10mm HDPE, which will fit into the mirror of this piece on the other side too. The robot will be built around the resulting H shape.

Next is to drill all the holes in the right places, wang a few nuts and bolts in, and stick a battery on it!
