It's a strange feeling when you find yourself pricing up parts for a complete rebuild of your robot before you've even used t but that seems to be what i'm doing. I've come to the conclusion that i'm not very happy with how Hatchet has turned out, the chassis is all warped, it's very rough and bodged, the weapon works 'okay' but i feel it could be much better. So in light of this i already have a complete parts list and design for next years Hatchet.

Let me know what you think..

20mm Hdpe or Nylon Chassis depending on how well the 15mm Hdpe stands up this year, if it does horribly then Nylon it is.
2 18v Gimson drive motors with the same custom wheels i'm currently using
TZ85 speed controllers for the drive, depending on cost it may well be the 30 amp Botbitz but even they must be a HUGE step up from electronize
6s Lipo battery, found a 3300mah 25 - 50c Turnigy nano tech that looks quite nice
Same 30 amp Electronize driving the axe unless it proves unsuitable.
Same axe but a bigger reduction going from 3.5:1 to 6:1 for much improved acceleration
I like how the new scoop looks on the machine so if it turns out to be a keeper i'll get one made from Hardox.
