Looks OK to me though a couple of things I might note:


  • The pin and plug from B&Q, I assume this is going to be your removable link? What I found, when I was building The Honey Badger 1.0 was that it didn't hold together particularly well and so the robot was prone to turning itself off (though that could have had something to do with where it was located). Yours might be a different design though.
  • 9mm MDF, in my opinion, isn't going to be robust on its own without another layer/edging I think. That being said, I have seen plywood robots in EXR Maidstone 2017 and they held up OK.
  • Terminal connectors are fine where you want to be able to easily detach parts (so I have a pair before and after the speed controllers but where you think that you won't need to disassemble it, I'd solder it now if only to get it out of the way.

    During EXR Manchester 2018, The Honey Badger 2.2 ran full on into a wall and the main battery terminal connector came loose and shut down. The wiring loom I made for The Honey Badger 3.0 (which I posted a photo of) should prevent that happening again.


What weaponry is going to be on this one?
