Hooloovoo!

 
This is the beginning of Hooloovoo's frame before being riveted together The back was later cut down an inch for a smaller back plate, and the hinges were ditched in favor of a static wedge.
Here is the same shot but with most of the components in. The drive motors are 2.4v B&D drivers running at 4.8v, and a Fury Rx.
This is a shot of the bottom Lexan plate after I finished riveting the frame to it at 11:00PM.
Here's a nice clean shot of my custom 3" wheels and hubs I made and also the wedge material (which will be cut down to size later)
This is a decidedly 'dirtier' shot after attaching the back steel plate by tapping it and screwing in the 1/4"-20 screws. Also in the pic is the attached Lexan part of the wedge which I heated and bent, then tapped with the same screws.
This is the back 1/8" steel plate attached to the frame. It looks ugly now.. but just wait for it's pretty paint job :-)
This is what my 'shop' looks like while building two robots in it for 2 weeks straight... 
See if you can spot:
  • Hooloovoo
  • Kris v2
  • Orange B&D driver
  • dremel
  • Team Toad sticker :-)
This is a close up of the wheel / hub set up I made... I'm proud of it, don't know why.
Here's the result of a $60 mistake... two burned out ES-01's... Looks like Hooloovoo will be using Kris's Blasts for this event..
The pretty paint job on the front..
The internals... I just stuck the Blasts in there, and you can see the big futaba Rx sticking up looking very vulnerable after I fried my Fury Rx.
This is Hooloovoo's current state, after the HoN, proudly displaying his battle scars.
