I kind of like this one.
The spike strips sticking out the flipper arm are supposed to be the "teeth" underneath the flipper but they're a bit big.

EDIT: realised the wheel is a bit big :(

Miniwheel ?

That's what I would have said. Looks pretty good, though, not sure about the back end. It's a wierd shape, though, so it might be pretty good.

that`s better. well done :) the only thing I could suggest is replacing the two... stripes (after years of playing the game I still don`t know the names of the components :O) with a small beater.

If you're going for form over function couldn't you reskin a flipper segment and use that instead of a mini wedge?
Looks very nice though.
Would it be possible to put the shell inside the chassis and have the weapons sticking on the outside
Or as Ava said, try skinning the components (Might help to use a solid disk with all the side panels and everything skinned)
Quite a few people can skin components so you can ask them nicely if you can't.
I experimented with making a full body spinner version so I could skin the chassis to make it look like the bot. Couldn't really get it to work though.

Kliptonite.  It's not black if you see the video you'll see it's actually a dark silver:

nice! :)

since there`s always something I complain about it time for:
"Thyrus suggest things he wouldn`t do either"

no srsly, I like the bot and it`s shape. two things I`m blaiming the game for is the unshiny paint and the angle of the axe at the start. but that`s really the games fault.

another thing: can you attach the battery to a skirthinge? if sou you could make it a little bit more like the real thing.


Edit: @GRW: I think he made it a extender so he could place it where ever he want? or something= (and might did something to the collision mesh)

I've been teaching myself BFE.  Currently the only trick I can do is to replace one component with another, which is what I did here.

Very nice use of the battery there. =D Replacing components is about the most I can do with BFE at the minute as well.
