Took cyborg out for a test run goes alright it sometimes when i go straight and then stop one motor keeps going for about a second dunno y but shouldnt matter that much gonna weld a piece of metal across the middle of the base and bolt that part to the base aswell as the sides, i doubt the shell will bend but without some bracing in weak spots the base most likely will, i still gotta re wire so i can use 2 stick packs for each motor seeing how they r bigger then before but other then that its all good and will be ready for round 3 _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:

ok time to get some pics happening of the new version of cyborg seeing how i now have the internet again the pics arnt very good cause i dont have a digital camera at the moment so i gotta use my phone.
shell:
instead of the very thin stainless it has now got a 4mm thick steel shell
base:
have upgraded from 7.2v drive motors to 14.4v and i am running them @ 14.4v(dont know y the pic is pink my phone aint to good for taking pics)
inside the shell:
welded tabs around the sides making alot easier then last time to put on and take off.
whats left to do:
i gotta weld another piece of metal across the middle of the shell to help stop the base from bending and find a way of keeping the wheels on but other then that it is all ready for the next event _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:
