Reaper doesn't ring any bells.

I have, and I may make one at some point, but it'll be after I'm done with the bar spinner. I've got ideas for a few different types of bots I'd like to make down the line.

Well, at the last BBots I won 4 full licenses for Autodesk Inventor Professional, retail is $2-3k per license, so sorta. Chassis pieces for Moros and Kobalos came in today.

The chassis parts are supposed to arrive tomorrow so I'll likely be working on them this week when not doing family things. There was a fair bit of machining that still had to be done, but designing for waterjetting cut a lot of cost out, putting the chassis for both Kobalos and Moros at $951 shipped. I suspect I will go the same rout for Apollyon should it be due for another chassis any time soon.

Got some bleed through while painting, but it's essentially done. Final weight is 11lb 14.2oz

For Apollyon, the bills were pretty nuts.
Materials/machining/heat treating- $1,700
Electronics- $300
Dewalts- $380
Misc- $320
So, somewhere near $2700
The machining was the huge cost which is why Kobalos and Moros have been designed to be primarily waterjet cut.
I'll get some more pictures after painting is done.

First test drive. I think I need a brighter power light.

Completely wired Apollyon tonight. It appears that the dewalt motors were damaged in some way when Mr. SD blew up. Going to see if I can get them going again. Worst case, I order a few more spares.
Weight with everything but a bit of paint is 11lbs 14.6oz, so 1.4oz to spare for paint, not counting the weight that'll be taken off when I put an edge on the wedge.

Here's a neat shot of all three bots I'm planning to take to moto-

For Mike, building bots IS a party. 
Bot's looking good.
Well, that and I spent most of the day doing other stuff, this was just some detail work after I got back home.

Moros model with all the main parts included-

Some more detail work on the chassis- Additions include openings at the front for glowing green eyes/power lights, two more "spacers" to hold the top armor in place and modification of the rear standoffs to attach the baseplate to them. One feature not visible is the tapped holes in the bottom of the rear standoffs that will allow me to adjust blade angle for individual opponents.

Yeah, some of the detail work is a bit nuts, but it's designed so all of the non tapped holes can be done via waterjet, so it should go fairly smoothly.

I've decided to give the aluminum frame one more go. Using all 7075 this time, so it should be a fair bit stronger per pound.

Hmmm... What about a name for me and Mike?
S_MCR Robotics? Department of redundancy department?
The Creatures of Camelot? I'd go for this one
Mike and the technicolour dream monkey?
Of Mike and Monkeys? or this one

I'm up for all the events but I still need a tag partner and I don't really have any grudges.

A bit lacking in weapon HP, but still quite fast and decent against a lot of bot types-

Here's something a bit unorthodox. It's a bit underweaponed, but fairly hard to take apart.
