YEE!! HAAA! Movement

As expected, after a frantic Xmas eve troubleshooting, R2-ST was ready for movement on Boxing Day.
The motors were in, the battery boxes screwed on and makeshift ankle wedges in place for R2 to start rolling using a RC transmitter and receiver from the very first thing I bought with my very first credit card -  a Tamaya Ford Escort Cosworth.  R2 gently made his way through all the cars and positioned outside the window for all the guests to see. And to be honest I was pretty chuffed with how he was going, turning on the spot, forwards, backwards - absolutely fantastic. The best bit was how surprised the wife was - helps negotiate for more funds.

 

Inspired by the above success, a thorough clean of the workbench and floor in the DMW was followed by some gentle soldering on the rear PSI board. This was hooked up to the rear logic and joy of joys that worked too. Something is going to go wrong somewhere along the line!!!!!
