OK, time to dust off this thread, as new parts are coming in from Fingertech, I bought myself a big ass cutting board for building material and
Should be an interesting year.

Good luck with modding the sawblade. Theyre pre hardened and a bitch to cut.

Could be worse, I was originally was going to use a 6-1/2 blade, before sanity(and weight requirements) told me otherwise.

I blacked out and somehow this stupid thing came to be:

Made from the old wedge plate from Shorty, meant to be a target for Shorty once those blasted bearing blocks arrive, might also be a spinner bait for C.C. once that's done.

Do a VD
The blade is so huge relative to the bot(Its bigger than the one VDD had) that may just not happen. I'll see if I can wing it, but most likely its going to be spinning horizontally.

I'M DESIGNING A THING

This time the motors are mounted on the Fingertech bearing blocks, so hopefully they stay on. Right now plans are to mount the wedge and bumper, as well as some soldering work(And ordering a new battery, the Rhino lipo I had has puffed).

More lessons learned:
Loctite is the holy fluid
Steel is only good when you don't suck
Klazo is an evil little bugger that I can't escape
The Fingertec emergency kit is the best thing ever
Judges like fast bots

Nope.
In other news, I'm going to retire Shorty. I've transcended the original Viper kit, none of the parts of it remain from the first build.
Thanks to Mike's Finger Tech Emergency kit, I've got a new design on the way, all I can say for now is-
Belive the Hype(er Speeder)

Klazo, Afulenza, then in the rumble I got Galade, Orange Glow, Siafu, Afulenza again, and Satan's Segway.
