good luck with keeping stratos alive, will you be bringing it to maidstone in october ?
As a fair warning, It's quite likely judging on the past of these events that Little Hitter will turn up.
What's a Scot Bots Kit look like? Never seen one before...
You should absolutely sharpen the end like a straw thing and call the bot "Gauging" :3I heard that's how gauged ear piercings are done- with a straw shaped metal shiv basically.Which reminds me- You aren't roboteer grouped, why?

I'm not Roboteer grouped because I don't think robots that were bought or kits count. It's highly unlikely that I'll become Roboteer grouped after this because the only things I'm doing are putting all the bits together (might have to create the circuitry from a bag of bits) and making weapons.

None of my weapons will be powered.
