Trying to get it done in time but I'm not sure some of the parts for the shell will arrive before the weekend. Got some titanium M2 bolts shipped from Hong Kong :(

I'll see if I can get Sharknado bodged together by Friday. I'm sure I can find some small screws somewhere.

Last time you seemed to build a whole robot in about 6 seconds so I have faith. Lol

Tweaked the chassis to save some weight. Takes the weight down from 17g to 13g, not much but every little helps.

Wired it up to test and it sucks (In a good way)! Tested it at full throttle with a 180mah lipo and it ran out after 30 seconds. Will definitely have to compete with the 460mah lipo.

After the controversy over EDFs at AWS, I'm having a go at designing a bot that can defeat them. Its weapon will be useless against most other bots though so I'm going modular. Just finished designing a base drive and control module that'll contain the motors, battery and TinyTwo speed controller, and will then have various weapons modules that bolt on with 4 M3 bolts.
