Ok, so I managed to get the base build of the bot completed a couple of days ago. Since then, I've been doing a fair bit of tinkering with it and repetitive testing of what it can do.
Found a couple of interesting results.
With my cheap, £1.99 for 20 AA batteries, the bot was managing to move at around 21cm/s with brand new fresh batteries.
While I'm reasonably happy with that, I'm a little disappointed that I have to repeat a lot of iterative testing. The reason I have to repeat it is because to do the testing, I used the same batteries I used to build and sub-system test the robot, and when I did a speed test of the robot, it managed to achieve a magnificent 16cm/s. 5cm/s is a lot to lose, so I'll bang on with that iterative testing again and get it resolved.
