So The Honey Badger is back together and, save sharpening the chisels, straightening the front wedge plate so it looks respectable and charging the batteries, is ready to go again. For a active weapon though, I've been re-watching various episodes of Robot Wars and recapping the opponents from Stevenage and Gloucester to see what I could feasibly build.

I've decided on a axe and I want to see if I can build a reciprocating mechanism for it (in a similar vein to Mortis, which you can see in action in the first fight of the War of Independence episode of RW Series 4). Whilst I am sure I'll lose some punch in the axe because of the losses in the mechanism, I am convinced that it'll pay off because it'll hit faster because it can repeatedly fire without me needing to hit a switch.

This won't appear until 2.2 but so long as I get the linkage measurements right, it should work quite well.
