Abracagrabra (anyone remember that thing?)! I’ve acquired a new ant! At ORCS, I discovered I had a spare malenki, which gave me enough space to build this thingie. The bearing unit pops out, there’s a hole in the front and the weapon needs a higher infill (though I do have TPU to burn) and the chassis is PLA, but overall it could be worse. Since I didn’t know I had the parts, it couldn’t make ORCS 11 but it should make it to 12. Until then, he’ll lie dormant. Watching. Waiting…
Might visit CAT without the big spooky spinner if Vlad ever gets around to that.
A ring of bearings that keeps slipping out. It also runs fine inverted, just without the forks (which might be a good thing for the added reach).
Does still need work to secure it properly. You can see in the photo how it’s popped out it’s holder. The wheels are also loose, and the wires are highly exposed.
. perhaps the next orcs
