We're pretty much time up with our 24 hours, but that isn't a problem! The bot is now ready and complete.
Colin gave the bot a snazzy paint job and decor over the week, and it now looks a lot better than just some pipe and metal with wheels.

We went on to test the bot to ensure smooth running, however during this, we somehow managed to break one of the gearings on the motor, and the wheel was spinning loosely and mostly unpowered. After a quick switch out and soldering later, back up and running! From this test, we altered the channels, and have got a much easier weapon control option now, as before it was tapped onto the thumb sticks in a very awkward manner. So hopefully this will turn up at a BW event soon enough!
Colin finally got his match against Tornado during this testing, don't feel too bad for the RC Tornado, it didn't have a controller, and we opened it but it would have been a very long job to rewire it for DSM(X) or AFHDS control, instead of 27MHz- it was all being controlled from a single board instead of seperate bits for each part.
