Yesterday made a battery tray and wired everything. The robot seems to have a little overweight issue with almost 1 kilo. Today started on a big diet, make hole's in the big bolts and make the axes that hold the wheels lighter. The last bit of weight will be milled out of the two alu frame plates of with are right now 1 kg a piece.
