Reaching The Finishing Line.
Having built Numerous Robots in the past you tend to know when your'e
reaching the finishing line of the build process.
Todays build was aimed mainly at the electronic aspects and Niall or Adam will
cover that topic, but there was some light fabricating work to be done first.
The speed controller needed a housing, so I cut a oblong slot out of the
top of the Robot just slightly larger than the controller and then searched
the workshop for a suitable metal housing.
Previously we had used metal from a Bath mate (lifting sling for the bath) and
it was to come in handy once again, containing a box shaped piece of metal
that was the perfect fit for the slot I had just cut to take the speed controller.

Other light fabrication included bolting on a steering box adjuster to cover
a hole in the bodywork and welding on a inner tail plate at the back of the Robot.
