Tornado versus Thunderbug Grudge Match.........I never got to battle Tornado during
my Robot Wars years so that's the grudge.
Thunderbug is now mechanically and electrically complete, Unfortunately Adam was
unavailable this week so I worked on the Robot myself.
I had ordered a different rc battery on e bay to give us the 6 volts that was lacking
in the previous rc battery, and though slightly bigger I managed to squeeze it into
the Robot.
The removable link turned out to be an headache but I finally got that sorted
using a TX connector looped and a 30amp fuse just after to protect the battery.
Everything is well compacted into the but there's a little bit of room for foam padding
and the Robot weighs in at 1.4 kg exactly so we can afford a little more polycarb armour
if required, I intend to paint it through the week a nice dark blue with clouds and lightning.

So to the grudge match.....I discovered a rc model of Tornado in the attic so the first
battle will be against it
