So since the last post, I've found the time to work on the Badger since finishing the build of Shu! and after some serious thought, this is likely to be the last few times this version of The Honey Badger goes out into the arena. Ideally, I'd like it to make it to the FW championships this year but then retire it in favour of 3.0. I might keep it around as a loanerbot, if I can find space alongside The Honey Badger 1.0.
Anyway, maudlin moment over, the robot has a new chassis crossmember and much larger screws holding the thing together. The electrics are another thing. In melee V at Maidstone 2017, it suffered its first electrical failure where after being flipped on its back and without the link cover, the plug was damaged so when it landed back on its wheels, it died. The removable link has been remade and is now in but one of the electrical connectors to the speed controllers has jammed and the wire has fallen out. I am sure I have a replacement somewhere mind![]()
