OTHER:

Problems

• Weapon was extremely unbalanced, couldn't spin up to full speed without major bad vibes
• Center of Gravity was too far forward, so there was little to no traction on the drive wheels
• Loose mounting of electronics (didn't cause any major issues with handling and little risk of wires being damaged, though)

Good aspects

• Looks Good (we think)
• Weapon Spins (extremely unbalanced though)
• Easy access and good protection of the wheels with HDPE side plates
• Ability to easily hot swap weapons and weapon support plates (the part at the front with the nylon transfer bearings and the V cutout)
• Lots of space for electronics and wiring

Changes/Improvements

• More ground clearance
• Move Center of Gravity to center for better steering (New beefed up weapon moved CG really far forward, away from drive wheels)
• Better mounting of components
• Beef up chassis (thicker walls, more cross bracing, thicker side HDPE protection)

Notes:

My other ride is Paul's Tesla
