looking at being smack on 1.5kg, but it doesn't drive so well. after a few fights I'll see about getting it into better design.

[adz600]

very nice the width will cause driving issues and will make the gyro turning worse but looks great should get onto mine at some point, what drive motors are you using ?

[harry hills]

Hi, surely width makes turning with a large rotating mass easier?
I'm using MFA 30:1 motors from technobots

[PJ-27]

My thinking was the same as Harry's?

Too much weight over the front, try bigger wheels and reducing the friction under the weapon.

[swanaldo]

Make the weapon bigger and faster
