Project: Mini Chopper-v1

Subject was abandoned in the rain. Its power core was completely destroyed and its primary control unit was equally in bad condition. MC-v1 was a prime candidate for total recommission. It was stripped down to its constituent parts and its weather armor was removed. Its drive unit was damaged and required maintenance. It’s braking system was subpar for its new upgrades and so the decision was made to upgrade it. The original saddle and seat mount was missing so a new one was installed. The foot controls needed revamping due to insufficient functionality. Water shields were installed and its original illumination system was replaced. The original powercore location was moved and reutilized as the compartment to house the primary control unit. MC-v1 retains its ability to fold for a smaller footprint for storage, however its ability to down size was not the focus of its recommission. Its primary steering control does not currently allow for transformation to a smaller size. However the path to a further compact form has been left open for future upgrades. The weather shield was decidedly left off since the chassis material was naturally resistant to corrosion.
