The flipper arm needs to be thicker IMO, it looks very flimsy as it is.

I was trying to put supports on the flipper to make it appear it had a pneumatic system powering it but unfortunately any more weight and it makes it a heavyweight.  I'm trying to keep it a middleweight like it's predecessor. :/

Then change the steel skirts to aluminum and change the wheels (unless it's a different size, sorry I can't remember) to shineys.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

It looks very underpowered as well.

I am having one serious case of Builder's Block at the moment.  :confused:  Don't think I'm going to be posting any new bots soon and instead see about improving designs of my existing ones.

Boy it's been a while since I've been here, lotta dust.  Anyway I decided to tweak some of my designs I've had for my bots, the first being my middleweight Spectre.  I designed an entirely new flipper for it that is more efficient at getting under the lowest of robots, can cause damage, better at self righting, and is a lot less gaudy looking.

Skin's cool, bots a bit bland.

Could use a higher-res skin so the sides aren't as pixelated. Other than that, yeah I agree with Scorpion, it's a bit bland as a robot.
