Mario, that sounds like the best plan - was thinking about it today/last night, it'd mean quite a major overhaul to get everything where I wanted it to go, maybe it'd have all fit (just), but a rebuild might mean I could get more weight over those wheels, and have plenty of space for everything else in-between... Will definitely get to designing that on paper! I have had a few ideas based around how Satanix works with the majority of weight being directly on top of those wheels, that'd be ideal for putting that power down. May keep HardWired II but as a thwackbot instead because that might be a heck of a lot of fun - would just need some additional parts put on the back, and it'd be fine I think, but I'll not mess too much with it. Definitely taking it to all the spinner events I can though because it literally does not care about any hits from them!

Also, cheers for that gyro post Dave, I might get one of those too, would be very handy in this new machine, and indeed in HWII, it seems like it works very nicely in Satanix and more control is definitely what I need in a robot like this. How fast does Satanix go too? It seems to go insanely fast at full pelt,got to be a lot of kinetic energy behind that!
