All the armor's been installed, on my scale Moros weighs in at 29lb 10.8oz

Do you have anything else you need to add now?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #542 on:** February 11, 2011, 05:26:18 PM »

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.

Are you ever NOT building a robot? :P

He is working at iRobot. So no...

Vertigo · « **Reply #545 on:** February 11, 2011, 05:56:19 PM »

Well, I meant a combat robot

Somebody · « **Reply #546 on:** February 11, 2011, 05:57:49 PM »

I know. :P

Still needs paint.

Looks great, after some weight trim, seeing that in action will be incredible.

Somebody · « **Reply #549 on:** February 11, 2011, 07:18:19 PM »

Yeah paint would help. That actually kind of looks like wood lol

maybe it is. lets all hope this one won't go on the Mr. Selfdestruct tour though.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #551 on:** February 12, 2011, 04:49:41 PM »

Ready for the arena.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #552 on:** February 12, 2011, 04:53:45 PM »

Hell yes, that looks absolutely epic. Around the wheels, the cutting looks a bit rough, you might wanna sort that.

powerrave · « **Reply #553 on:** February 12, 2011, 05:41:18 PM »

now this one looks like a rave-bot too. =D

While being the detail picky type of person I am I would agree with you.. but I think there comes a time we have to remember they are melee combat machines not intricate sculptures..

Looks awesome Mike.

Looks absolutely fantastic. As long as the roughness around the wheels doesn't hinder performance at all, then it's no big problem.

Good luck at Moto tomorrow. Oh and say hi to Ed for me :P

Ok, brief update.

Kobalos: 0-2, great rumble. Lost a spark gearbox in every fight which made it tough to do well.

Apollyon: 2-1, beat Zandor and Cantankerous Cowpoke, lost to Surgical Strike

Moros: 1-1, Lost to Steel Shadow, beat Gloomy. In the fight with SS, Moros tosses itself up to about eye level and flipped over. Yes, there is video. It will be posted once I'm on a better connection along with a bunch of better video.

What post has Kobalos in it? Search only brings up this robot, and the post you just made.

Possible CC entry

In a quick test, it KO'd Hypnodisk pretty easily
