I'm liking the look of the electric lifter- wasn't that one of the weapons I suggested? :D

yep

Well, it's certainly great to see that I've had such an effect on the robot's weapon design- against some of the FW pushers (Like Hunter) or those with slow self-righting (Like Venom), I can imagine it being very effective at flipping and pushing them the arena. And who knows? Maybe the pit could come into play :P

Well, providing the motor was powerful enough- couldn't really tell from the video, you see =P

But yes, if it is gradually improved, I could see it being quite useful- Panic Attack was a good indicator of what can be done with these kinds of weapons

That metal scoop is just gonna bend

Looks like it needs to be stronger

NFX · « **Reply #389 on:** August 05, 2011, 01:34:34 PM »

It does look like it should be stronger. I wonder if you could get a second motor lifting the front scoop, just to give it some more rigidity and a little bit of extra power.

I like the 4WD, though. Should give it some good push. =) I thought the lifter was going to run all the way down the middle of the body, a bit like Storm II's did.

What's the story behind that robot carcass?

No, too small for it to be that... maybe just a small featherweight project that went unfinished and sold?

I know what it is, it's a feather that was available at the FRA forums.
The original builder was a guy called ewan.

haz · « **Reply #397 on:** August 31, 2011, 05:30:29 AM »

indeed it is, ive now taken it apart, and put it back togeher again it does feel a bit like cheating buying half of the robot but i know i couldn't do that myself and i got some lovely 10mm aluminum in the process.
yep its a feather, big bugger too
to me it doesn't look a thing like razer, i dont see it.

fun fact: it once lifted storm2

I'd totally put a little tooth or 2 on the bottom of the arm so you could use it to trap other bots. XD

haz · « **Reply #399 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:48:03 AM »

great idea! i might add some eyes to it as well so it can "eat" other robots
