Got all the stuff together ready for this, though it's no longer a 'completely recycled' beetleweight - bought a pair of drives from Sam which are absolutely huge however they're surprisingly torquey from the tests I've run, so I'm building them into a machine with a large scoop at the front, and I've got a small stainless steel vertical bar (cut from HardWired's lid) driven by an old drill motor, relatively heavy but the bar's only light so it should even out. Other than that, I have no idea what I'm going to use to build it - just going to get started on it tomorrow and see where the build takes it!
Quite possibly one of the worst ideas you could have, but it'll be fun. Not meant to be the most serious of beetles, that one's coming up shortly - horizontal Last Rites-ey spinner type thing!
