So with the robot now nearly refitted, I've been working on getting the OrangeTX system plumbed in and after a bit of failsafe craziness, it now runs on it along with one of my Antweights.

Today though one of the TZ85A needed reflashing again. Not entirely sure why, seemed to only be working at half power and developed a mind of its own when the transmitter was turned off. It is cured for now but something tells me it'll be back. I also tidied up my links and got the wiring ready to accept a fuse for the lifting arm or axe which I've put together, a sharp pointy steel thing on the end of a length of HDPE, I fear it may bend sidewards under use but there is still time to reinforce it.

Many thanks to Retroman for the 14mm thick piping, I don't think I'll have it installed by Manchester but Grantham... perhaps.

I do like Gimson's stuff but the hubs are a bit of a pain when either the grub screw bends or the hub itself deforms under load (they being Aluminium alloy, might go shopping for steel hubs next time there is any money to put into this - got Kaizen to work on after Manchester. Still, I put it down to extraordinary use on the arm, the hubs on the wheels are still good.
