Just realised that I haven't updated this in ages.

I got Inertia B and Soundwave 2 working for Stevenage last year but both had a couple of issues. Inertia was about 50g overweight and had problems with the weapon belt coming off over 50% throttle. Soundwave had some dodgy flappy armour and a bent weapon shaft which stopped it spinning properly.

I dug out Soundwave today and got it back up and running- the armour is now fully welded to the chassis to make it nice and strong and a new weapon shaft has been fitted and it all runs much better now Even had chance to give it a lick of paint.

Final weight is 1.35kg so there is a little more room for extra armour if it needs it.



Inertia is largely fixed as well. The belt problem has been solved by remaking the pulley on the disc with a wider flange and I am cutting two small sections out of the chassis in the morning to get the weight down. Pictures to follow.

I am also working on a new 4WD brick to enter into comps as well. I'm hoping to get most of the chassis made tomorrow but its essentially 10mm HDPE (with aluminium bracing), 3mm stainless scoops on the front and back and 4mm polycarb for the top and bottom.
