Having been quite productive this past weekend we wound up with just a few things left to do on the antweight Poor Punctuation 0.9, so we buckled down with the intention of finishing this 'bot. [More]

We started out the morning fired up to build! We had coffee in hand, and a whole bunch of items on our checklist we wanted to get through. [More]

With the realization that today begins the third final weekend before Motorama 2011 we brewed up some coffee and headed to the build space. [More]

Our plan for this evening was to mark up parts for three 'bots so we would have something to work with this coming weekend. As it happened we had a bout of concentration, and wound up only working on a beetleweight. [More]

So we've received a metric boat-load of parts, and are gearing up for a manic few weeks of building for Motorama 2011. [More]

Direct from the frozen tundra of Dorchester, Wisconsin, comes a box full of win: Whyachi-Waterjetted Parts! [More]

No building this evening, just some organization and troubleshooting using some tips from our friends on the Forums, but we did receive a couple of deliveries! [More]

While we were waiting for the rest of our parts to trickle in, we decided to spend some time on our antweight this evening. We'd received a new timing belt and pulleys for the weapon transmission, and so we wanted to look into how to get the weapon hooked up. [More]

Following on from yesterday's CNC fun, we decided to try our hand at writing a G-code program, plus we had lots of other stuff to get done, according to our To Do list. [More]

With only four weekends left before Motorama 2011 it's time to step up the action on the building front. Although we're still waiting for the lion's share of parts to come in, we were determined to get as much grunt work done as possible this weekend. [More]

Now that Milly is a fixture in the Build Space, it was time for phase two of the setup - adding the CNC capabilities in! [More]

Having finally trimmed down the design for our fairyweight to under the permitted 150 grams (5.3 ounces) we were ready to do a little building and get the smallest member of our Motorama fleet underway. [More]

With our geometry lesson from yesterday we were finally able to sit down and finish the design for our second Motorama beetleweight: Versatile Villain 0.9. [More]

Unfortunately we haven't quite finished all our design work, so we haven't been able to order everything we need in time for this three-day weekend, so we're going to have to amuse ourselves with some general building this weekend. We headed out to the build space to dig out some parts, and to figure out some design issues. [More]

There's a chance that Scott may make it to Motorama in February, so we're going to build two beetles - here's one of them! [More]

We were taught a lesson back at Robothon in October - we didn't build tough enough! So here we are with a second design for our twelve-pounder. [More]

Following on from our efforts yesterday, we mega-dosed some vitamin C, wrapped up warm and ventured out to the build space. We had high hopes of making it to wiring up the antweight. You'd think we'd learn by now ... [More]

All right - time to ignore the various germs and plagues going around and make a start on the Motorama 2011 fleet. Today we're going to do put some effort into our antweight, as it's the one we have both a full design and pile o' parts for. [More]

We're planning on putting a featherweight together for Motorama 2011, and we wanted a design that would (a) have a large weapon; and (b) look good :-) so here's what we're going to build - Formidable Fustigator 0.9. [More]

With Milly the new Mill firmly ensconced in the garage Build Space we had to spend some time rearranging and organizing the Build Space, and so that was a task duly accomplished today. With a little bit of time left over, we decided to give Milly a test run. [More]
