Great to see everyone at Gloucester! I was only able to attend for the Saturday but had good fun in the arena with The Honey Badger 2.1. The fights finally saw the robot moving properly, damned zippy when it wants to be.

I definitely need more practice time driving the thing. The tank controls make the robot sensitive to how much input I am giving at any one moment and it does mean that it prone to rushing before the squishy meaty thing behind the controls realises it and boom, in the pit. Also, it needs a weapon capable of self righting it, considering a axe at the moment. Not much in the way of damage though the flail went missing after the first fight, as did my link cover. The wheel came off at one stage and one of the chisels is bent but nothing a good whack with a hammer won't fix.

I missed recording the first melee but I have videos (which are not very good) for the rest of the FW melees on Saturday.







Excellent to see FW robots like BattleAxe, Venator, Mutiny, Luna-Tic and Bruiser at the event, many thanks to the Mutiny team for the Aluminium check plate, I'll look to use that in rebuilding the front wedge after Maidstone.
