In typical fashion I am having a last minute rush to finish my team.

I have now mostly finished Inversion 2- just need to wire it up when the ESC arrives (hopefully tomorrow)

Next up is to finish the fleaweight and reprint the chassis for Inertia 9. Red and Blue are ready to go as they have been since the uni open days last month.

Unfortunately the postman didn't come today, so it's now gonna be Wednesday by the time your ESC arrives. If they don't come again tomorrow I'll take it to the post office..

With the chassis for Inertia beefed up and printed, here is how my team is looking now. Still got some wiring up to do but they should be good for Saturday.

Dave is lending me a bug which will team with either Blue or Red to form a cluster.

Nuts is safely in with the Fleas, so Inertia won't have to worry about getting smashed again :P

After working flat out for the last few weeks shuffling my efforts between working and the new Shockbots kits I have finally spent some time this evening on one of my own ants.

This is essentially Inversion 2 with a weapon fitted. I'm going to keep the pusher one as that is still working very nicely and use the same base with some slight modifications to run a small drum spinner The actual drum will be about 3 times wider but you can get the idea.

Will the drum make Inversion, ironically, not invertible?
