IT LIVES!

Driven about the cul de sac under power and control. There are no rear skids or castors and no sword blade at the front so there was plenty of porpoising under power.

I had my doubts about the wheels as they are a little wobbly under power on the bench but they seem fine to drive on tarmac. The wheel nuts work loose so I will have to double them up.

There seems to be a control problem under hard acceleration which may mean that the Robots R Us controllers need balancing.

The previous Broadswords used to trundle around but with 36v this is a very different beast. Keeping direction is a problem which may require a gyro.
