hows Carcinus coming along?
Ummm........err............ummm..........





So yeah, as you can see it hasn't yet evolved into anything. Part of me relishes the challenge of trying to build it from scratch in one-and-a-half days, the other part of me is starting to think it's not worth the hassle and stress and that I'd be better leaving it until afterwards and take my time to build it right.

Drumroll's technically all ready to go but there are little things here and there that could be done to it in the remaining time that aren't essential but which would be good to have. Think I'm gonna sleep on it tonight and work out whether to push on with the Carcinus build or not.

On the topic of Drumroll, it's looking good if I do say so myself



Although it has yet to have a proper test, I have given it a bit of a drive and a quick spin and I'm really happy. The drum needs some balancing work done to it (hello grinder) and the little things here and there that I mentioned could also be done, but the way it looks, moves and feels is much more like what I envisaged when I designed it.

EDIT: It weighs in at 11.6kg, so 2kg spare for....well, anything really. Most probably aluminium chassis upgrade.
