So a quick update, I competed in the September Robodojo with Gunblade, the video of which is on Joe Brown's YouTube channel. The main takeaway from that was my method of clamping in the weapon shaft was not strong enough for a FW spinner environment. For Gunblade 1.5, the main upgrades are a shoulder bolt for the weapon shaft and changing the shape of the top panel. I've also upgraded to a Redbrick 200A ESC. Should be ready for early next year!
