Was that easy to cut? I assume a carbide end mill?

It actually wasn't too bad. Yes I used carbide, but it chewed thru it with very little issues. The face mill was really the only thing that gave me pause. The top was absolutely work hardened and was pretty tough so it was a bit slow going.
Now it´s up running. Automatic Tool Change are filled up with tools and works well. Had to play around with it a bit but now with the right springs it´s perfect.

That is awesome. Please keep sharing pictures and progress.
Are you a regular in Robot competitions?
Yeah, a little bit, I'm hoping post-winter to have all the tools and everything in place to not miss another fight
The idea of this one is the frame is welded 1/4" ar400 which is super overkill, and its very compact, there's a number of modular attachment points on the front and top of the frame to put all kinds of different weapons and stuff
ex: The "tank" setup has over 1/2 of its weight in armor (1/4" ar400 wedge on the front and over 2" of armor on the sides and back)
