Holy crap! I thought I'd taken a long time to make updates in the past but seven months is ridiculous! Don't you think?

It's been a while since I've added any information to Malvolio's build progress. After getting back from Robotica I took a three week hiatus from robots to focus on my family and work.

Latest news is that Malvolio has been disassembled. Not a bad thing though. The frame is just steel and I wanted to make sure I had the welding done before I started painting it. Well

It's been a couple of weeks since my last update and quite a bit has happened.

First of all I went to Battlebots 2000 in Las Vegas. What an absolute blast that was. I enjoyed working with Jim Smentowski

This weekend I pretty much finished the frame welding. I then cleaned up the welds with the grinder. It's starting to look like something now.

Well a couple things to update.
On Malvolio I've attached the motor base plate to the frame and cut some unneeded pieces off the plate. I'll still be drilling some holes in the plate once I get the placement of all the components situated.
