The replacement ESC has arrived. Installed that and now the robot now moves. I say "moves", "hops" might be a better descriptor. The whole being catapulted into the ceiling thing has bent the driveshafts. It'll go into the arena but... yeeeaaahhh. If I get time over the week, I'll get the shafts out and put them in a vice to straighten them. Hardened steel shafts are on order.

Also on order is the parts for a two stage gearbox for the Scythe, upping the ratio from 4.5:1 to 15.75:1. It might actually be able to actually cause damage now. Oh, at the Scythe head is now pink as well. :P

The chassis parts are finally on order! Once they are on the robot, actually finishing it will be fairly simple as lots of parts are scavenged from Kaizen. The axe mechanism will remain the same but I'll be fashioning a new axe for it. I must confess, the drive motors are smelling... pretty awful. Kaizen had a very unhealthy habit of making 775 motors explode and these smell burnt.
