A few updates since last time :P
Jigsaw V mk. II
Weight: 150g
Dimensions: 135 x 100 x 40 mm
Drive: 2 x 50:1 Pololu HP 12mm gearmotors driving 32mm rubber tyred wheels, run from a Peter Waller option D speed controller and a 120mah 7.4v 2 cell lithium polymer battery pack
Armour: 1mm polycarbonate chassis, 0.9mm titanium, acetate
Weapons: Front hinged flipper/self righter powered by a modified 4 bar linkage from a Hitec HS82-MG servo run from full battery voltage
Notes: Was initially built for AWS32, but after numerous issues had a new chassis built after the weapon system more or less imploded at the event. Uses bits from video cases, Velcro tape, and random other components
Status: Alive and waiting to fight
Pictures can be found at http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii30 ... d%20diary/ for those that are interested, with commentary by myself for those insomniacs among us whom medical science has failed.
The Data Fields

Dimensions: 170 x 100 x 25 mm
Drive: 2 x 50:1 Inertia Labs 12mm gearmotors driving Tamiya track drive sprockets, run from a Sozbots SOZDSC-M speed controller and verious 2 and 3 cell 7.4/11.1v lithium polymer battery packs
Armour: 1mm hardened aluminium chassis, 1mm polycarbonate
Weapons: Interchangable rambot - options include hardened steel dart spikes, various scoops, shields, bumpers, whatever I can fit on really
Notes: On its third or fourth version (minor changes in between each, mainly to the armour, radio reciever, weapon setup, etc.) and perennially underweight despite relatively heavy components and home made axle blocks (!)
Status: Alive (somehow)
Slightly out of date pics are at http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii30 ... s%20build/

Under construction antweight with claws, currently waiting for me to work out how to armour such an oddly shaped thing :P
