It's not 100% finished yet, but I've been working on it all evening, so here it is. Same name, but entirely new robot: Randar
Also, there's a video of a quick weapons test I did:
Weapon Test
Apologies for the shoddiness of the photots and video, didn't realise until I uploaded them that my phone was on all lowest setting, and it's too late to be doing them again!
All in all I'm quite happy with my progress today. It drives nicely and doesn't wobble around too much when the disc in on full power (in the video it is ~50%). Although it's still far from balanced! It still needs a little work, but the majority, and all the annoying stuff is done. It needs a new disc, which hopefully Will is ordering over the next few weeks (although the current one seems ok).
Also needs some armour and a couple more coats of paint. It's 135g at the moment, so I may go for polycarbonate on on the top and back, and a titanium scoop on the front. But I do hate working with titanium, so may not bother. And it needs new wheels from shapways. I made a slight miscalculation on my design and they are about 7mm narrower than I would have liked. The chassis also needs some strengthening too, it was so badly damaged in the post when it came from shapeways that the gave me a full refund!
My other new ant, Taurus, should be making an appearance on here over he next few days too. How quickly will depend on if I decide to go for titanium armour on it or not!
