 Sadly I had to put the wheels on extenders, so they've got terrible traction. Outside of that, it's actually not half bad.

very nice, is the drive angled for a reason?
Nope, just felt like it.

If you could turn down the turn speed in SS, that'd probably help the whole "spinning in circles" thing from the second match.

what's with the random iron spike ? It is supposed to be a counterweight for the chassis ?
I don't get the point of the wedge as well.
The spike's mainly to keep fast stuff from running up the wedge and into the chassis. The wedge is mostly inline with real bots of that style that have a feeder wedge that brings the opponent up into the weapon.

 Looks decent, but spinup's too slow.

I'm mostly surprised at how long SS held up.

It's cool but... one 300 point hit to the left of your drum and your whole weapon goes away.
Which is surprisingly in line with the real life version, as if someone breaks the drive chain, the weapon's dead.

 Performance is quite close to the real bot. Very agile, weapon isn't terribly damaging but it's good at lifting the stuff it hits, letting the bot get under the opponent.

MCM needs moar green/black ;p
Love the paintjob on Nyx though, the swirls are awesome.
MCM's my girlfriends bot, so the paint job on that one is up to her. Not a ton of good paintable locations on it right now anyway.

Won't know till moto, but it seems like the ludicrous torque means even at a fairly slow speed, it's accelerating the other bot really fast. Here's the whole fleet for Motorama:

OK, that looks sick. I assume the two "gear" pieces next to the flipper are meant to attach to each other and form some sort of spinner?
They attach to the same hub as the flipper and spike, the C shape is to allow attachment and removal without having to pull the entire weapon assembly apart.

Can we get a video of the flipper mechanism working?
That'll have to wait till I have the top armor, otherwise the arm would get driven right into a motor or the battery. What is the max weight it can lift? Could it lift a middleweight?
Jackpot reply! Woo!
Ignoring all of the other physics issues, it'd be able to lift a middleweight on a 4.75" long arm if all the weight was right over the arm, so it could probably lift a corner up as is, if it were clamped to the ground. The weight difference would mean it'd be more likely to flip itself into the middleweight, which while funny isn't a terribly useful attack method.

Nice. Really loud which is fun. Who is talking there?
My girlfriend/teammate Julie Sweet bot.
What would a pro builder recommend to a beginner for getting started?
http://nearchaos.net/guide.htmlThis may be the most powerful electric flipper of your weightclass. A flipper attachment that would resemble Toro in a way would be interesting, although you may have to drive the robot backwards for that to work.
It'd be able to lift an opponent on an arm that long (570inlb torque, so up to a 19" arm would be able to lift a 30) but it'd be too slow for a toro style flip. The current longest flipping attachment is 10" long, so it'll be able to lift 57lbs at the tip, which gives enough margin that it should be able to move decently quick.
