That is looking good Craig you really are becoming a master of tiny robots.
I have started rebuilding Mutant going back to the previous layout of shuffle plates on double crankshafts and a drum type spinner.
Here are some shots of the mechanics so far.

looks neat Pete, did you buy those gears or have you fashioned those from servo gears?

The gears were bought some time ago but looking on ebay these seem to be the same.

Completed Saxon
as close as my scales can measure she's bang on 150g

its based on Suicidal Tendencies from series 4, its not overly quick but its got plenty of torque and very easy to control

tomorrow I'll post the new hammer bot
