I thought so... well, at least it can self right.

Well that's an even trade-off.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

while using Tankcat's technique, I stumbled across a way to have wep motors insted of just four. The only problem is that it takes a LOOONG time.
I modified Tankcats diagram. My robot uses the motors side connections instead of the rear.

Actually I had to use a motor connected to that point to swing the burst motor's  axle out of it's arc. And yes in the diagram I meant to put the motors connected to the side and not the rear. I was going to build another bot using 3 motors using that technique, but right now I'm kind of burned out on building.

EDIT: Actually, I really want to challenge some other HS with this bot. Specifically Absolute Chaos.
