Update time! Aaaaaand it's not all that great... We have started in earnest and have all the parts for the body and chassis cut, drilled and test fitted together but the Champs in August won't be happening this time around .

I can get it put together in the time I have left (I think), but financially, it's a little bit too much to bite off quite yet, and spreading the cost sensibly would have the parts all bought for September instead.

In short, disappointed, but not perturbed, I simply cannot justify the expense in bigger hits right now. I'll be 100% go for next year though, and by then I will have had plenty practice and might have half a chance of being competitive.

I will be building more insect class robots though, I only have 2 so far and I'm already hooked.
