Well, disaster has struck again. The weapon motor has burnt out. I had to do some quick surgery to get the now binned motor out of the robot, which has set me back several days.

So now, I'm going to have to be on the lookout for an 18v scooter motor to power the weapon up and such, then work out a solution for mounting it and go from there.

Thankfully, I managed to save the wiring. Had to redo the Y lead soldering so now it's a little neater, so to speak. So no problems with ESC, batteries or Rx, which is great... just need to figure out... if I'm to make the Manchester deadline, do I turn Ratatoskr into an invertible pushbot, or stick to my guns and go for the axe/club?
