Highlander’s biggest enemy (aside from horizontal spinners) has always been weight. For this version, I ordered a fresh set of chassis pieces and had them pocketed as well. The entire robot is a little bit smaller too, so that’ll save a nice amount of weight as well.
To save space, moved the EndBots DESC underneath the ram using a 3d printed platform. This helps make the robot more narrow. Unfortunately, the tanks are still quite big and are the by far the biggest size constraint.
Since the robot doesn’t have a spinning weapon and only uses N20’s for drive, I can get away with a tiny battery. In a final last ditch effort to save some weight, I made my own custom 4s 80mAh pack. That’s right. Not 800, but 80!
Despite my best efforts though, the robot is once again too heavy for top armor. Looks like we’re wrapping the top in duct tape again :/
