Ive been following JH-Qs progress with this bot and it sure is nasty! Good luck with the event.

Yeah JH-Q has been pestering me with the progress (joking) of this bot for awhile now. I really like the use of the 24v dewalt and I would try this out if I hadnt had invested in my Ev Warrior and actuator collection lol.

Anyway good luck with the event and I hope that drive works fine for you, last time we spoke it was having some trouble steering but it looks like you may have sorted that out with the mini wheels.

Wish it could come to the Uk for a drum bot battle. All the best of luck for the weekend.

Youre right there - I dont mean to be heavy handed and all but I wouldnt want that robot running in that arena (note my use of inverted commas) anywhere near where I am.
Now Ive watched the rest of the vids I wouldnt want to be near it with any robot running in it PERIOD!
