Nice. :D

Yay!

6061 Al for all but the horns. Horns are mystery steel from the whyachi shop.

Nice. Looks like it's going to be nice and sturdy. I hope you can get a green flame - that combined with the horns and tail would make it a really original twist on the wedge/flamethrower design.

What did they charge you for that work?

My first born son and a virgin sacrifice.

actually, it was $12 in materials, and $390 in labor.

what you may not be able to see is that every single one of those holes is tapped to my specs, and every single piece on the parts are very very close to 100% accurate to the models.

Now to hope I don't tear the

out of my feet, as all the drilling was done in my dorm room.[/url]

Whoa, really? Last I checked, there was no way to make artificial nerves connecting to your brain. Where did you get that kind of technology? :lol:

Apollyon is looking good. Dorm room, eh? I bet your roommate enjoys all that.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #47 on:** January 31, 2007, 08:22:21 PM »

We're both working on strange things, and we're both somewhat messy people, so it hasn't been much of an issue.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #48 on:** February 27, 2007, 03:29:46 PM »

Apollyon as of the last 10min or so.

I thought they could... Didn't they re-arm that one guy?

I stand corrected. Guess I haven't checked in a while. I want some of those...

Apollyon is looking really nice now.

Apollyon and ruiners new chassis in progress

the bent bits broke off in the press, so they'll be getting welded onto the steel wedge.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #52 on:** April 05, 2007, 06:31:07 PM »

Cool - is that just a shell, or do you have all the stuff (minus the flamethrower of course; I don't see a slot for that) inside Apollyon?

Also how thick is the wedge? All the pics are from a top view... think it'll stand up to Killabyte? :wink:

the parts aren't in there, but I've got all the pieces with me.(speed control, battery, kill switch, rx, various wires, misc padding etc...)

I'm not cutting the hole in the wedge till I have a working flamethrower. The wedge on Apollyon is 1/8" Al with a 3" wide 3/32" A2 tool steel bar on top of it.

on that note, are ya'll still planning on putting Apollyon into the next DSL patch?

If so I'll make sure to get fully painted pics up soon.

Also, it probably won't have the flamethrower for RG07, but it WILL have one. Just need to find the right sized tank to fit inside the shell.

After the changes judge dave made to how the sublights brackets will work, I won't be bringing ruiner or apollyon to robogames.

This also means no flamethrower for Apollyon, as NERC doesn't allow them and that's the nearest event for it.

Here's Apollyon

How it will be able to do any damages if it doesn't have a flamethrower mounted inside it? Or aren't you going to put that robot into a fight at all?

It's got spikes and drives at 15mph.

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #59 on:** June 03, 2007, 09:42:58 AM »

:P But those spikes look so...

...stub. Those are so small. I think those won't do at least any big damages to an opponent.
