Mid November Progress

Motorama is only a few months away, the rooms are booked, the paperwork is signed and the check is ready to be mailed out. Last year, Near Chaos Robotics entered 5 robots across 4 classes, and this year, we'll at least match that total. With Moros, Kobalos and Motor City Massacre retired, that means there will be at least 3 robots going to Motorama for the first time.

Nyx: Ready to compete and currently being used for motor controller testing.

Apollyon: I haven't really done anything to it since last Moto and it's still in good shape.

Algos: Getting some new spare wheels made, but otherwise ready to go.

Klazo: Ready, as usual.

So, that's the fleet of currently built bots. What else is there?

Keres: 150g combat bot with a 5" titanium bar. All the parts are ordered and the chassis will be getting cut soon. It's also being used as a test platform for some new lightweight gearmotors.

Reptar: My teammates 1lb bot is getting rebuilt for improved durability. Last time, it was very improvised and made of whatever was laying around. It finished 1st and 2nd in its first two tournaments. Now, it'll be made of titanium.

 Here's a render of Keres:
