So sadly I wasn't able to make the AWS, which is a shame, as I could well have been ready! Anyway, here's what I've been up to: Firstly, my receiver woes are over, as the replacement came, and worked beautifully! I now have my weapon servo, linked below, and I've fitted it in the robot, using a pape...

Sounds great! I think that should be an achievable deadline for my build. Hopefully I'll be able to get a lift up on the day!

First, a very brief update, but no photos this time. The body is progressing fantastically well, with all the panels cut, save for the internal supports. I can really see it coming together, and that part at least will be complete in the next few days. I've always used a bit of tape to join the piec...
