Oh wow, 270x270mm is tiny! Don't know how you manage it. I have quite a bit of vertical space above that I could build in to, but I want to make sure everything is secure and as easy to access as possible for this build. Also, I haven't figured out how I want to reinforce the top of the toaster, so the less essentials within axe range, the better. When the Mk2 looks to include a hammer, I think vertical is definitely the way to go. Cheers!

As long as everything goes to plan, debut will be December Robodojo, followed by EXR Manchester (For the Love of Sci-Fi) if that is possible.

1. Thanks! I've hardly taken the jacket off since I got it. Absolutely love it.
2. I don't know why, but a mezzanine level just sounds wayyyy too posh for a toaster . Great advice, I will definitely consider it for when I look at getting the axe mechanism in, thanks!
3. Assuming you are talking about the motorbike, it's not mine, sorry. It belongs to my Mum's Boyfriend. I'm a petrolhead, but I much prefer 4 wheels to 2!

Yep, December Robodojo is the plan! Make sure Wedgeley is prepared! Definitely agree on the drill guide front, Ellis from Pulsar/Magnetar has a great video that I used for reference, but the drill he modified was slightly different. Great tip on the socket though, definitely better than the screwdriver I tried!

The bandsaw is actually super stable, it just looks comically dangerous. I was surprised how well it worked.

I'll have to get one axe in first! But yeah, I'll consider it as a future plan. For now I'm just planning on putting actual bread in there while it goes in to battle (Would it class as entanglement? Does the FRA account for use of bread in the rules? I don't know, but I think they should if they don't). I've seen that the house robot they use for the featherweights at EXR has a flamethrower......
