Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza

[PJ-27]

Made some more progress with Bitza.

Today we added the scoop on the front. Unfortunately due to the impending weight limit we couldn't use as sturdy a metal we could have hoped for.

The scoop is supported by 4 thick steel guides which are bolted to the robot's main chassis, which will help take the main brunt of impacts.

Still waiting for the new Rx to arrive (since the old one broke) and seem to have a bug whereby the robot is moving very sluggishly despite the batteries still putting out a voltage above their rating.
