Problems

• Nonfunctional drive motor
• locktight issues/pin in the drive motor was too short
• was barely enough room for electronics
• some holes were too small
• belt was too loose

Good aspects

• Drum was very solid
• was underweight
• armor was effective
• used hella electrical tape to fix switch (was functional at motorama)

Changes/Improvements

• recalculate belt size, order more backups
• make side plates longer to accommodate electronics
• fix top and bottom plate to accommodate new side plates
• make a proper cutout for switch
• new drive motor
• fix holes in motor mount, side plates, (front plate if possible?)
• push pin in drive motors further
