So, did a bit of work for Reading on the beetle..

Brutally attacked the lovely milled aluminium with a hacksaw and cut it into two pieces, drilled and tapped it to bolt it together..mainly because it was so unpractical with changing belts etc. Three bolts are endtapped at the back and two go into some M4 threaded bar at the front behind the drum. I also changed to HTD belts so hopefully they won't stretch like the old ones did.

Heres a picture of the robot in its fairly bodgey state!
