        UPDATE

        The weapon moves! No problems with sticking or stalling, and it just toppled over a 12kg air conditioner with barely a pause (sadly didn't record that, camera ran out of batteries). Self-righting won't be possible until I add some kind of height extension to the top, but this is a big leap in the right direction!

        See the vid below for a demo

            With all the armour and add-ons installed, it should be 13.4 kg, almost right on the weight limit.

                  It's going to be a fun Saturday to watch. If you're on Saturday that is.

                            Well, Manchester was one heck of a weekend, sadly cut short for Ferrovore. Weight allowance meant I couldn't fully cover the wheels, and one of them took such a wallop it dislodged a brush inside the left hand motor. All the resulting arcing and sparking wrecked the inside of it, without enough time or cash to obtain a spare. My teammate was very gracious in letting me drive Mecha Sombra, my old machine, on his behalf for some of the remaining fights.
                            But I think for now, I'm going to retire Ferrovore to the sidelines and keep it in reserve. Now that Extreme Robots are allowing spinners, it's about time I satisfied my desire to build something with a damaging weapon.

                            Next year, a new feather will be emerging in the shape of Redline, setting a small-scale template and paving the way for my first heavyweight, Samurai!

                            That's all from this thread for now, but I'll still respond if anyone wants to ask me anything. See ya!
