Well the last couple of days have been eventful.

First, The Honey Badger is not going to Insomnia. I got told just before I found out that the Badger was accepted that I was meant to be in Oxfordshire for a wedding on the Sunday. I pinged Robo Challenge to see if we could still compete in the side events but they are reserved only for folks who have competed in (and have been knocked out of) the main competition, which is fair enough. However, since I can't compete fully over the weekend, I've had to withdraw, which has really, really annoyed me as I wasn't aware that we were meant to be going.

Second, the weapon motor has decided to break on me. It had been running OK on and off for the last few days but there seems to be an issue in the gearbox, which is riveted shut and I can't undo. I've dismantled the motor, clean up what I can see and it still doesn't want to play ball so with the withdrawal from Insomnia, I am going to put the spear on hold and just sort out the running gear first.

Apart from this, The Honey Badger is pretty much complete, bar the removable links. The last of the XT60 connectors arrived this morning so I'll be soldering all that together tonight. Power light is in and adjustments to that back panel are done so it shouldn't ground out any more.
