Thanks for hosting! It was great fun, Stolen Concept vs Voodette was certainly a memorable fight! Looking forward to the next event.

@peterwaller @MarkR Thanks for the suggestions. Would the capacitor go across the power and ground wires between the battery and the arduino then? And I guess across the power and ground wires between the arduino and the motor driver? Small-ish update before BotFest 2 tomorrow. I haven't had a lot o...

I've been preparing for Robodojo's Antweight Open which is tomorrow. So, I have It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature! and Have You Tried Turning It Off and On Again? ready for combat. https://i.imgur.com/ulvaqk0.jpg Here is INABIAF in action: https://youtu.be/F4DeGyrom84 There's a problem with INABIAF's w...

I've printed off a servo harness to mount the servo to the base as the wings on the servo are not oriented correctly to let me screw through the base of the bot and into the screw holes. The harness sits around the servo and serv...

The wheels have been hol...

Update time, and whooo, the shell is done!



And for comparisons sake, here it is next to Hello, World!

I'm trying to take what I've learned with Hello, World! to improve the design. https://i.imgur.com/AXSV44O.png https://i.imgur.com/ki...
