Huntsman took its first trip outside to have its weapon tested. The electronics have not been formally mounted in the robot as this was a test of the motors and weapon drive train. There was some damage to the rear of the chassis at the limit switch while testing the axe return. The power of the return swing will be limited once the robot is complete but not at this stage.
This first test went well and everything is looking good. Not sure where the lizard ended up though.
