So I did some more work on the robot yesterday and today, and this is what I've gotten up to.



Before the drive motors were mounted, the weight of it was 6.6kg. Which means at the moment, it's a rather chunky squirrel, haha.

Either way, I'm quite proud of the progress that I've made on the robot. Making the last two drive motor mounts and putting it all together took from about 1pm till about... 6:45 pm? So a solid half day work. But it made me quite exhausted. Once again, curse you chronic fatigue syndrome.

So the next things to do on my list is to get some shorter M6 bolts, a decent set of wheels that'll give as little ground clearance as possible, as I want it to sit as close to the ground without getting beached, and start soldering the wires and such up. Oh and drill holes where necessary. And mock up some armour out of cardboard, just to get a feel as to what shapes I need to cut out for that particular job.
