Right off the bat, all my images are clickable thumbnails, just to save on anyone opening this thread and having tons of big images to load.
Having taken in all the comments, suggestions, and opinions, i'm still keeping the bodyshape, as I want to keep the "Robot Wars" look to it. Not saying that the efficient bots are bad, but they just don't float my boat at all. Hard to give a robot any personality when its made of extenders and ti sheets. :P However, internals I can certainly take advice on, hence:
- Saws on the back have gone, although ideally i'd like for there to be something similar on the bot at some point, just for the damaging ability.
- Flipper has been upgraded from the Mag Snappers to the smaller version of the JX burst motors.
- 2WD NPCFast/Techno drive, but is there any explanation for why these make the bot faster than say Tornado's or Vlad's?
- Armour upgraded to 10mm Ti, can't remember what it was before (definately not DSA though)
- Made sure the flipper pieces are angled to get under more, same with the additional skirts. May not have been visible but on the original the mis-matched tires put the chassis at a slight angle to the ground.
- Batteries have been re-done. I've gone for extra power than is needed by the motors and bursts because I have the weight. Speaking of which, 58.9kg to play with, any suggestions?
