No issues with that, only a few more days to go!

There has been a recent emergence of powered overhead weapons, I think we'll start to see more people developing armour packages for them - I made 0.5mm Ti top plates after seeing Shakey's "Calm Down, It's Only a Drill!" eviscerate a LiPo at Ant Freeze last year. I've found Titanium workab...

Ooh, 4-bar lifter! Always like seeing more of those being made. Seconding haz's suggestion of polycarbonate panels bolted on to the chassis. This is what I do - I use PLA+ brackets and mostly polycarbonate (I like to use 1.5mm if I can spare the weight, but you could probably go thinner), and they h...

I went to BotFest and Robodojo a couple of weekends ago, so it's time for an event log! This one will cover some general remarks followed by a Robodojo report, as I'm waiting for BotFest footage to be uploaded first before I write up that event.

Thank you for hosting, it was great to see everyone after so long! Looking forward to the video!

What time is the event planning on starting? I may not be able to make it, but I've signed up for it anyway. It's been too long since I've gone to an event!

Thanks all! Hopefully I'll be able to meet you guys at events soon! Progress is going on the manufacture of spare parts. I have a full set of spares for the three I intend to bring to the next event (PLAPIALPCOM, PM4, RE). I probably want extra sets of wheels for PLAPIAPLCOM because they're exposed....

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, so let me talk about what I've been up to in the past year. Precussive Maintenance 3 will never see combat. That's because it has been replaced with Percussive Maintenance 4: A New Spanner! https://i.imgur.com/W2QR07l.jpg I've returned to the gear-driv...
