 Still needs paint.

Nope, a few holes to drill and some trimming on the top armor, so a touch of weight reduction and a splash of paint is all that's left.

I guess you can pop different bits into the hole on top, like an interchangable weapon port. Like a USB slot, almost. If my guess is right, that's pretty damn awesome :D
That is correct. I can also theoretically drop 2 18v dewalts in to power it, though I suspect 1 will be more common.

On a whole different scale:  Frame is 1/8" welded steel, capable of competing as a 30, Sportsman, or LW depending on attachments. Working name for the concept is Nyx.

@Click: Not to be a PITA about this but did you ever get to work on or finish a Shish-Kabot replica? I've tried myself but never succeeded in capturing the style of it.
With or without the wrestling ring attachment?

Who all is attending Motorama this year, either as a competitor or as a spectator? I remember there being a decent fleet of GTMers at Franklin.

As far as I can remember, this was the first bot that I saw using the metal hinge wedge:
Truthfully, I don't know why it took until 2008 to discover the hinge's proficiency, but when I was building Enfilad3 I just didn't think of using anything other than the skirt hinge for wedges.
Keep in mind that DSL really didn't become as competitive or as popular as it is until Naryar won BBEANS 4 (which is also when we began taking Nary seriously. IIRC he was pretty easily jaded as a noob). Until the community moved here from the Atari forums, the DSL crowd was small and pretty quiet. The official forums were almost exclusively Stock, so none of the big innovations liked the emergence of flails and wedges in DSL happened until years after it was concieved and released, when DSL really became popular.
It was somewhat known before then. Here's the earliest showcase bot I had using metal hinges, from all the way back in July of 2007- Smashed show's Techno Destructo who the real flipper is.

I was head of design & manufacturing for Team 675 for three years in HS. Haven't been involved much since then as college and combat bots has kept me quite busy.

Did a bit more work on the design. It's close to a "final" state, though it'll be a bit before I start on it as there's too much coming up to even think about trying to get it going soon.

Also, using 4 smaller motors with one at each corner is a way to power all 4 wheels without belts/chains/etc and allows the use of 4 smaller motors in place of 2 larger motors.

This site makes my eyes hurt- http://www.teamdeadcell.proboards.com/I'm also not sure why an mspaint bot from the site is registered for an actual competition...

I know it's a bit off from what your original idea is, but a tourney following sportsman (no wedges, no high energy spinners) rules could be interesting.

I'm glad to see that you're planning to keep the parts unmodified.

The whole center part is likely to be welded 4130 steel, so strength should be decent.
