Blender Mini Update #9

This is my first semi-stable test with both spin motors. I had to limit both motors to 30% power because of the obvious stability issues. I am planning on taking my shell over to the auto shop tomorrow and seeing if they can hook it up to the tire balancing machine.

Everything in this test goes smoothly until I try to attack the Dewalt Box! Foolish Me! I should have never messed with Dewalt!
This test is limited to 70% with one spin motor.

We already shipped all the tools and spare parts ahead of time but we will be bringing the robot on the plane with us.
