After I got the code down to run the thing with a controller, I decided to rebuild the whole thing, since the batteries were causing balance issues. Everything is now in a far better place and has been rewired. I cut a new acrylic plate for the top and am actually very happy with how it came out.

I also got a new router and scroll saw for future woodwork and acrylic cutting. I have a bunch of ideas for the next tank body, which will be about a foot and a half long and about a foot wide. This includes a NERF gun and targeting system. :D
