new beetle from moi (nothing exciting)

[daveimi]

Hi all fellow beetle peeps. Thought I would stick some details up of my first shot at building a beetle. Its just a basic pushy bot. It will have the same motors everyone is using, cheap speedo and battery, Banebots wheels and axle adaptors. Its literally made from offcuts so that's why its a bit rough lol. As ever, thoughts/opinions more than welcome. This is in my build diary too for completeness.

It's all exciting David....when you play for the first time I guarantee you will be inspired. Look forward to seeing it and the build.

99p Mastik gun I chopped up! and thanks for the comments Feathers and Beetles are the future

Plannin on doing a similar thing with a fire extinguisher to make a Featherweight scoop.

We used on Oil drum on a version of Bitza that no one saw.

[daveimi]

That's cool, were the oil drums really thick? I've been trying to get hold of a beer keg lol.

[PJ-27]

Not really, I doubt it would have lasted tbh, which is why is ditched it. Beer keg would be cool!

Was always impressed with bitza's reliablility lol
