Team Kaizen - The Honey Badger

[Ocracoke]

And here we are. Built over 79 days from the 3rd of July till today in evenings/weekends, The Honey Badger is now rebuilt in its 2.0 form. Sure, it doesn't have a active weapon yet and there is still wood involved but it represents (to me anyway), a big improvement over what the 1.0 robot was like. The wiring is done properly, the motor selection is much more in keeping for Featherweights than the previous selection and the armour is vastly superior (much thicker anyway).

The side weapons, all the external screws and the front bash plate have all been painted in satin black. Link sticker has been put on the robot and the weapon guards made out of masking tape. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it only weighs 8kg, which is a fair weight allowance for a active weapon when I build it for next year.

Here is hoping this one survives at least one match, I'll make a run through video tomorrow.
