Yea I have a Tunigy graphene battery, its a LiPo. As a side note that the JST is wired back to front with the red and black switched on the one I bought. So yea...that's helpful ... rewire that!
65C rating on a 1S though. So packs a punch on paper!

Slow progress at the moment, I am testing 3D printing custom belts - since it looks like i will need the drive system to be run from belts as well as the weapon. https://i.ibb.co/f0BFdZM/Belts2.png Spot-A elastic resin seems to be the best bet so far. Tried FDM printing in Ninjaflex... it just came ...

@George: Ahh hadn't tested or had any experience with cracking polycarb before. This could be more entertaining then, with that kind of risk! :lol: Will see how it goes and have a bar redesign on standby! @TeamScrewup: Thanks :) Could be a Jackson Pollock piece of art, if this does not work out as I...

Really needing all parts to be accurate to CAD or it's going to vibrate away, thankfully 0.1g margin of error at the moment. So looking good so far Tha...

Thanks! :D Im a bit lucky that this ties in with my day job Yep! I will cry like a sleep deprived baby if it gets blown into pieces :P Haha nah, seriously - it wont put me off fighting with it. The main aim to disintigrate other bots :lol: so i have to accept with good sportsmanship, if/when it happ...

Time for some build log image spam. :D Bought a broken lathe for cheap. Sherline 4000, which is nice for small work. 1987 edition though and getting rusty, motor and electronics are shot. Here after some cleanup https://i.ibb.co/XpRdVMM/IMG-20190104-152410.jpg Cleaned the motor, fixed brushes, reass...

Really awesome Love how it can do the little left-right, left-right jabs with the two spinners!
Cant wait to see the results of the upgrade

Really need a video of this guy in operation
