The robot looks good.
The robot looks good.
I noticed your description that it kills, demolishes and instills fear, but in the video, it did not seem to make anyone run away, screaming.
It might be more fearsome if it had weapons, but I also thought of it having a small sign that said "Bomb Disposal Unit" --but that might get you in trouble with the police since it is not really one. Perhaps you could mount a basket from a large shopping cart on top and call it a "Shopping Assistant".
Regardless of that, it looks like it is doing fine and running well. Good job.

May be a stupid question, but,
isn't the diamond plate on the front a possible issue if the bot were to run aground? I would think smooth plate would be better as it should have less resistance.

Really like this thing, could be fun to run around with.
