well i thought i would drop in a little update seing as my last post was just after the scotland event
that event was a great learning experiance for me in tearms of driving and wheel atachment and how not to use loctight for the mk 3 i decicded to stick with 2wd after much procrastinating and waiting of parts from hong kong i decided sod it and looked at the flaws with the mk 2.
i sat and watched my fights and decided that i needed to
improve the drive train
slightky thinner wedge as 4mm was overkill
stop it being able to sit on its back end
after discovering things online and watchig more of other people robots i did some cutting and grinding and swareing and i think you will filnd the bot mostly an upgrade it now has much grippyer wheels that are attached witn double grub screws so it should be solid the base and top panels are going to be recut to fit better and will be made out of 2mm hdpe the side is 15 mm hdpe and the front is a 3 mm steel wedge that hase been grinded down to give better contact with the floor hopefully it will survive the big hits and with its new drive train it will be able to shove most things out of the way also did i mention its goong to be running on 14.8 volts so to quote the book of clarkson poowweeeerrrrrr
