Team Health & Safety - First Time Builder

[Zenith]

After a very exciting summer holiday it's time to get back at it. Days before departure to sunny Asia I took delivery of my drive motors; 4 12V 1000rpm DC motors, akin to the Silver Sparks used in the Viper kit.

This led to the first mock-up.

Indeed - it's not as much a mock-up as it is two drive motors on a used cutting board. Contrary to what my better half believes this cutting board's destiny will not lie in dicing and slicing meat (vegetables is a different board, because HEALTH AND SAFETY PEOPLE), it will be used to put driving platforms together. This one cutting board should serve about 3 driving platforms, providing I can keep stuff from falling off and how hungry each platform is. As it is, I'm sadly not Jesus - then I would've been able to do this entire build with a gallon of water and a fish.

Batteries and plastic are on the way - white HDPE. Maybe I'll just make a new cutting board from that and hope that my gf won't notice.

To be continued.
