Really struggling with the paintball magazine. So far I think I'm on about the 6th prototype. I'm gonna work on it some more tonight. Once I get that done, I can finish the turret electronics up. Still having some suspension issues. It's holding the weight, but not rebounding the way it should. That's also on the list. Once that's fixed I can take it out for a test drive. Ahhh, the garage wasn't that cold today. It was at least above freezing today (40 degrees).
