Designing away

Parts are taking a while to arrive so I am taking this time to make my design as good as possible. It seems everytime I go back to look at the design I find something slightly wrong with it, for example some of the mounting points were at different heights meaning that the bevel gears would not mesh correctly. This is stuff that is not immediately obvious but would be when assembling the bot. I am hoping out to iron out as many problems at this stage as possible before assembling the design.

As you can see, bevel gears are being used everywhere to help keep the narrow scorpion shape. The hammer is on a sliding mount meaning I can adjust it to make sure the gears mesh well (The blue section represents the battery).
