Batman shot! I have been putting my new CNC machine to good use as you can see. I can't believe I ever did things like that side armor manually!
Here is a little better shot of the side armor, you can see the pockets in the underside to lighten things up a bit. You can also see the "Hot Stuff" logo I engraved into the top of the aluminum drive pod. I think it looks pretty good!
Here is a shot of the new bumper on the back of the bot. There are a lot of nasty spinner robots going to the games this year and I needed something besides the complex and somewhat fragile grab/lift arm to slam into them. This "spinner stopper" is a 1/2" thick and two feet wide chunk of lexan. It is bolted to the back of the robot with two massive 5/8-18 flat head bolts made of stainless steel. More to come as the games get closer!
