Bloodsucker has a nice ring to it. :P

I would say it's more fitting to a vertical crushes, myself. But that's just my thoughts.

Tango Gnat.

[Natster-104]

So I'm going to go through my opinion on all the names:

Gnat Bite: Has a nice ring to it, maybe this one
Spanish Fly: Sounds nasty and has a very nice ring, probably this one
Bullet Ant: sounds like something fast, but not for the current ant
Assasin Bug: hmm, not really, not as nice as the others
Gnat Attack: Love the sound of this, sounds like something striking, like an axe
Gnat-Thing Special: Sounds like a one trick pony or a final gambit or something like that, sounds cool
G.N.A.T: For a heavier weight class tbh
Bloodsucker: Yup, for a future crusher, and it sounds awesome
Tango Gnat: Just sounds like you put 2 words together, not really
All pun names: doesn't sound like something for the battlefield tbph but one day maybe

Also, I was bored, so I drew up some designs cause I was bored:


And could you answer these questions:
1. Which one looks the best
2. Which one would do the best
3. Which one will be the cheapest in your opinion

and also feel free to drop in any more name suggestions

EDIT: Also thank you plazmic inferno, R1885, Natef and Badnik for your help on the receiver :)

Why did you make it out of a napkin?

[Natster-104]

Why did you make it out of a napkin?

Lol it's masking tape and still a prototype

EDIT: And I forgot to mention, haz is planning to send me even more parts. And on another note; I will have my ant not prepared for the AWS so I am aiming for maidstone
Now I have got to go and update the FRA forums page 

[Philippa]

Ugleeeee.

Some videos of it moving around would be nice.

[Natster-104]

Ugleeeee.

For god's sake it's a prototype 

Hmm, I'll see if I could get some vids up

Maybe do a cardboard armour prototype? It would look 100x times better then.

Well I've already taken it apart so yeah ok

And, how do I use a mixer, I can't find the right combination 

[El Chickenado]

design 6 for looks best and cheapest
4 for do best

FINALLY A SATISFYING PROTOTYPE









Pros
Fast
Well armoured front

Cons
Only invertible some of the time (depends how it gets stuck on its back)
Wedge is crap
No back armour
The controls are weird (need help with mixing etc)

Thoughts?

[Philippa]

Sides.
Stahp.

Because I cannot make cardboard models, at ALL

The best I could do with cardboard is a box
