It's been a while! If you have been wondering what I have been up to out in my garage, here it is:


It's a remote controlled robot that has a slot in the top that you can put various targets. The whole idea is that the robot is "bullet proof" against .22's and shot gun blasts so as your plinking away at the target payload, it doesn't matter if you hit the robot.


Here is the robot base by itself. Everything you see here is made from steel and welded together. The robot has four motors (on for each wheel) which provide it with 4WD. It is pretty good at running around in the foothills without getting stuck.





Here is is driving around.





And here it is taking some fire! It's been a fun project for sure! We are currently building the website and tooling up to make and sell a batch of them, so if you want one watch this space for more info!
