Really struggled with these two, I have a grand total of eight versions of Bronco and three versions of Bite Force because I kept messing the dimensions up. I will more than likely come back to Bronco in the future as I'm still not happy with the overall shape, the flipper looks more like the Matador's than Bronco's and the front is messy AF. Bite Force is looking sharp though ;)

I'm glad you're among the people who do pro jobs at Battlebots Replicas. I remember back when it was mostly just me.

Is this using servos for drive? If not you could try to put on some wheels to give it some grip. The way it looks is purely awesome. Very good job.

It uses HP z-teks to give it a bit of speed, and I would add normal wheels to it I'm worried it will ruin the look. Thanks for the suggestion though

Brilliant, that's a lot smoother than I thought it'd be.

I had the exact same reaction, mate I seriously don't understand how people build so well in stock RA2... credit where credit is due that WBC is insane! Tommy level insane!

Speaking of insane, that's pretty much the tagline of my mental state after putting these together...

Stage 1: Looking good.
Stage 2: Wait, these are gonna be huge next to the others.
Stage 3: Wait, how can there be five robots in the arena?
Stage 4: Wait, the white and brown one are connected.

Is it one big machine or is it two machines? Blue/red/yellow looks at a different angle from white/brown, so I'm assuming two big machines with multiple Creepy Crawlies in each?

Haha you got me, it's two bots split 3/2. Each bug has it's own very low powered drive motor & functioning claw and then attached by weak HP extenders with the intention that if the connecting extender breaks the bugs are let loose. Quite unlikely to happen but at least it allows for the possibility of 5 bots working independently. Ignore that, turns out it doesn't work at all.

They are a little on the big side, for scale here's Mega Tento about to cannibalise babysitting the crawlies.

If the extenders holding the bugs together break then you'll have three dead bugs and two alive. Motors stop working once they're disconnected from the line to the chassis.
