Pictured at the SED show yesterday (see profile), this is how Ka-Pow! is looking at the moment, minus the pneumatic system and flipper arm, which are being revised. First time Ive driven it on a wooden floor with the BTUs, and it seemed basically fine. James Baker was getting some nice power slides out of it. No Gyro installed yet. Still using three PBQ 9Ah lead-acid batteries at the moment to get 36v, but we do have ni-cads (cheers Jason!) to install and try soon. Theres still some work to be done on the arm and the armour for it, but Alan already has pretty much all the bits for the version 1.5 pneumatics. Itll probably be yellow and silver like The Savage Toaster eventually, but Im warming to the current battleship grey colour, due to the nitride coating on the steel.
