Why would you do such lovely CAD for 3D printing and not check everything fits inside in the CAD?

I did check the big things... Its mostly making the wiring neat. I made a lovely power wiring loom, but it didn't fit in; going to have to try that again!

[EpicentrE]

Fair enough. It's quite a pain to estimate how much space wires take in CADs. I still don't end up leaving enough room half the time!

Most of my robots are built, and then the electronics crammed in wherever they fit; My last one just has the controller strapped to the outside

To be honest it is easier to redesign and reprint if the wires don't fit, than design them in.

I have started the CAD for a few more ants, and I am still struggling to find a decent rubber duck.

I have finally found some time to work on the robots:

Wheels are cast rubber, temporary lifter fitted.

(Excuse the dust on the tires, has a bit too much fun driving it round the house...)

Looking good You gonna add extra armour to the front of it? I mean, fine by me if you don't :L

Looks like some kind of cycloptic demon with that EDF motor.

i'm not generally a fan of EDF bots but i'm deffinitely impressed with this! looks very competitive indeed. can't wait to see it fight.

Yeah, think I will get the lifter printed in stainless
