By now, it was time to put the finishing touches on Tauron Mk2 to get him ready for shooting the application video. This time we were determined to apply with a fully working robot. No last minute panics this time!
The final bits of wiring were soldered, much angle grinding was done, and the bot was given its trademark red and black paint job.
Finally, Tauron Mk2 was assembled with the drive and weapon section bolted together. But - it was overweight!
After a quick change in material from poylcarbonate to HDPE for the top and bottom armour (not so shiny but probably a better choice anyway due to its flexibility), we were on the limit... at exactly 110.00kg.
