post battle stripdown (of the bot you dirty minded people)
well we pulled plan-B apart today
somewhat aided by the total absence of electrical power making this the most constructive thing we could do.
anyway it looks like we actually got damaged *gasp*
worst of all it looks like sorry came the closest to doing anything dramatic....
*hides head in shame*
we took a hit to the front that fractured the belt guard and cut through the first kevlar the glass but was stopped by the second layer of kevlar.
even so it still managed to damage a belt, put a split in it about 5cm long down to the fiber backing in it.
there was also a black mark where it looks like the belt has been pressed into the glass
and here is where nick took a little chunk out of our wheel too
gratitious top view
did a weigh in of the various bits too today
each individal wheel weighs 750 grams, we want to bring that down to 250 and take the fan out. might rework the front guard around the wep to protect the belt some more.
