Quick update;
We have added some bike tread to the wheels, since we had some issues with too little ground clearance and minimal traction.
The radio tray has been re-designed to sit deeper in the robot to help keep it safe. This will also allow us to have a much deeper angle on our front scoop.
The tails on the chopping boards have been removed (see above photo) since we found they can be prone to snapping, and wouldn't want our entire armour breaking off if we were to land on them.
The Rx for our 2.4Ghz system has stopped working on us, in the process of replacing it.
Making up some spare battery packs from the drill's NiCad packs, better than nothing!
Designs have been made to give the robot some ears to stop it resting on it's sides without wheels, and designs for the scoop have been made. Rather close to the weight limit, so hoping we can do whats left within it!
