With The Honey Badger in pieces, I've gone and ordered a couple of LiFe batteries (a pair of these: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-fl...epo4-pack.html) to wire in series to drive the motors, which was part of the original intention in this rebuild. Should be a big improvement over the 2x 1.2ah 12v SLA batteries.

The new motor mounts have been ordered which should hopefully drop the motors onto the chassis board and thus, increase the amount of traction from the drive wheels as the current ones don't allow the wheels to fully grip onto the driving surface.
As for the weaponry, I am going to put the spear on hold as I can't allocate enough time between my various commitments to make it work as I would like it before Stevenage. I will install the side chisels when I put the robot back together but I do want to add something to the rear of the robot. I have an idea but I'll need to see if I have enough weight allowance and time to build it.
