I had another chance to look at the Mean Machine today as two of my feathers are ready to go

for Robodojo next week.

I was not happy with Mean Machines performance at Robots live Grantham 2019 as previously stated

and have decided to do a real cut and shut job to rectify poor drive issues.

For reference see Team Death New Heavyweight-Basically the Robot is front heavy so this gives the effect

on the rear wheels of tickling the arena floor instead of putting down good traction.

So my plan is to put the wheels just behind the jaws which will shorten the body of the Robot by about 1/3 rd

but make it wider by the same and it should be much more manoeuvrable .

This is a major task but I think the final results might make Mean Machine much more competitive .

I will post some pictures as I progress.
