Are you hoping to have this all up and running to compete at the UK champs? Or just taking it steadily and it will be built when it's built?
Will be indeed running at the UK champs

Progress today - made + installed the drive motor mounts for the beetle out of some 10mm UHMW and hooked up the electrics, it's just about driving - or would be except I ordered 2 inch wheels instead of 2.5! Too small in other words, and get hung up on the bolt heads. I'm going to get some low profile cap screws and slightly bigger wheels - next step will be to mill out a timing pulley and press fit over the brushless motor can, as well as make the dead shaft for the weapon.

The feather - starting bending up the frame which I never DID get done due to the uni press brake being broken for the longest time and then finals coming up. An annoying job involving two big propane torches and many, many jigs.
