Thought you guys would enjoy seeing a "low-budget" robot I built using tools you would normally find in your garage. (Yeah, custom and cheat parts, but I don't care - i built it for fun).

This is Gran'Pa's Toolbox.

Specs are (more-or-less):
5 magic motors -2 for drive, 3 for spinning weapons
2 stock snapper motors
1 earthquake DDT
1 stock burst piston
Power - RyanRulez' portable reactor (Wastegate hacked by me)
(this will change - was too lazy to put the real batteries and airtanks in!)

Weaponry consists of:
Tire iron / Coca Cola Cam Hammer
Wham bat
DeWalt Hand Drill & drill blade
Car fan blade
Shovel flipper
Sledgehammer
Crowbar
Cinderblock ram
2x4
Screwdriver

Oh, and yes, those tires are mismatched, just for fun.

also, cocks.

That really looks like it would have built up from scrap.

Thanks. The hardest part was trying to do that paint job. i must've tried about forty different textures on it, plus i layered on a lot of scrathes and dents. One of the panels behind the N-12 wheel is even made of wood.

Now, of course, you flip it over, and the bottom is glossy black ...

Hey i was just telling him the difference Geez

I feel no love for posts i make sometimes

Badnik96 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 07, 2013, 11:28:34 AM »

You responded to a post from 7 years ago. That's the problem.

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2013, 11:50:00 AM »

29 May 2006. 7th April 2013. See the problem here?

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2013, 12:07:40 PM »

The problem ISN'T ONLY that it was an old thread, the problem is that:

-we thought Spyguy was back
-you didn't add anything to the conversation
-the conversation was dead since seven years.

I agree with this.

Badger · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2013, 01:24:01 PM »

He managed to trawl through all these threads, ignore the post date and the 180 days warning and you think that he's trying to be helpful? ¬_¬
