Master at Arms
Going full Horror Show on this one.
It's the motorized kit and set up to go straight and forward off a single motor/AA battery. But as you know me, I can't stop there. I grabbed some spare gears, split the axle in two and went full RC with speed control, forward, reverse and steering. I'll have the guns function too, just not sure whether it'll be both elevation and traverse yet. Not sure if the cannons recoiled or not, I'll need to look into that.
I worked out the gearing, but the motors I have on hand are 3 volt and the system runs in the 6-8 range, so I have new ones on order. Otherwise it's ready to be built, just speaker location need to be worked out at this point.
Here's quick vid of the steering, etc.
