Or just two weaker weapons
![]() I just watched the tested video with them though, and that "speed of sound" comment is a lot of talk but I'd love to see it. I like the idea behind the light spinner, as long as it can hold up. And the weight savings are probably what allowed the second weapon. I'd love to see a light weapon like that but with extra weight into just motors and batteries to spin it at some ludicrous speed. I would LOVE to see 10,000 RPM. 245

Plus it doesn't look like they actually got a weight bonus like I thought. I'm changing my prediction to Plan X. Eh the promo clip of that had Wrex getting a good bite into the side of Plan X. And Plan X wasn't moving, and the spinner looked weak. I'd stay with Wrex. 246

Also a picture of Wrecks, and a minibot that I'm probably attributing to Plan X, since there was no mention of it from Wrecks' interview. Also, new robot pictures from the fastcompany article.

1. Dual Perm drive is pointless anyways :P
2. Just get bigger wheels and make it work! 250

I like the robot though. Just reminds me of DSL robots, but with the freedoms of Ironforge 256

Guess whoever gets me is building a Red poker covered in nuclear stickers, with that black brick outline pattern haha. 257

Hahaha make the people use Redbirds or normal Zteks for the spinners then!
My first three robots were a HW poker and then I built some Middleweight versions of the same bot. Do you think that would be two bots or count as one? 258

The way forward here has been IRL lately and it makes the game much more approachable to a new audience. 259

Flamethrower is new though. Flamethrowers MUST have been encouraged by ABC. Makes for good TV though.
Edit: Flamethrower is not new |
