You have a good eye Dave just increasing the wheels by 5mm has brought the blade to within a mm of the floor so might have to increase that slightly.

Having a play with 4 wheel drive again using a shorter version of Defiants chassis.
On defiant the chassis length was determined by the catapilla track which made things difficult.
Here I am experimenting with somthing I beleive is called armour.

But Dave it is based on you favorite robot Defiant, it is a boring pusher, it is 3D printed and it will probably have a name with ant in it.
What more could you ask for. :roll:
