Had a great time at the champs and learnt a lot about my robot
This is how it looked going into the champs - shiny




The rear motor eats brushes. I think there are a couple of reasons for this
- lack of airflow
- old motor with worn armature
First fix is I have ordered a brand new motor

We had fitted a magnet on the scoop. Boy did this work! In fact far too well (I did on reflection order too big a magnet). This was nicely solved in one of the fights where the epoxy resin broke, magnet went free. At that point Spur could drift nicely , normal service resumed

The scope was a temporary measure as I had ran out of time to make an active weapon. On reflection I have scrapped the idea for an active weapon. Running a couple of DeWuts it has loads of push. Therefore gone for a redesign at the front




I am going to move the TZ85's out of the rear wedge and fit to the battery box now I have a bit more space. This will give more airflow around the rear motor and make removing electronics a lot easier.

I will try and get it all back together but might be Portsmouth.
Oh - need more silver paint
