The internals are now reorganised, power lights added to both the drive and weapon circuits and rear panel added. The side panels are fabricated but need a bit more fettling before they'll go on. I think the front and top panels will be clear polycarbonate now rather than the grey PVC I am currently using - I've managed to salvage some from a house move I've assisted with recently.

I also added a set of forks to the front of Shu! to help counterbalance the weight and they do appear to have a effect. The robot can now throw 600g over itself without too much fuss. I tried a overweight stand-in of a robot as well (probably nearing 2kg) and Shu! overbalanced again so I think the arm being shorter and a little fatter would probably be of use here.
