Oh goodie, Peter gets rid of Defiant and Jim rebuilds it! Lol. Looks excellent though Jim, I love how even a tracked box can be quirky with a little imagination. Though I'd have called it A Fridge Too Far.

That is very neat and tidy Jim but you have one scoop on upside down.

I was looking at those tracks but you cant seem to buy them with 4 drive wheels which is a shame.

Named after William Perry!
I did make the mounting holes in the middle,so that the scoops can be mounted either way up!
That way I can turn the rear one upside down,is I feel the urge!
I have got a couple of 16mm 800rpm gear motors in it!
And some special controllers are on their way,it should have plenty of power!!! 8)

It should be named Mini Fridge. Anyone that's ever seen the Robobash Budweiser advert will know that was the most awesome robot ever made

Fantastic work as always Jim

Is this one for your daughter as well?

Impressive to push a trainer like that on a wooden floor. I really think you're the one to beat at this AWS Jim. My stategy? Get you to drive yourself off

BTW, is the cat you keep scaring called Murray by any chance?
