Fiest [beetleweight]

[ewan]

Yeah, or rather the frame you can see will be the start of the beetle frame. Undecided yet whether to go for car steering (think original Killerhurtz) or 4WD though

[jonny]

i'd go for 4wd with much less grippy wheels at the back (think 360)

Started on the final chassis for the machine, pictured by the test-frame for reference-



Bulkheads are 8mm polycarbonate, motors are these http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1597, tires are these http://www.robotmarketplace.com/product ... i-3MM.html
Overall length as pictured is 230mm, final width will be around 100mm

wow, looking good. you sure those motors will be man enough?

[ewan]

If they work as specified then yep. Importantly they fit more easily than the car steering I'd initially planned and are possibly lighter
