Re: Epic Robotics
The Growler toy doesn't fit in the cube if I remember correctly. So would be difficult. Not impossible though.

Re: Epic Robotics
They look terrible. You'll never win with robots like that. *sarcasm detector explodes*

Re: Epic Robotics
They look to be up to the usual very high standards.
We have a lot in common when it comes to engineering, I have the same Wickes worksurface bench tops in my workshop.

Re: Epic Robotics
Sorry to disappoint Peter, but these were actually taken at work I have cheap Ikea tables at home, which are black and therefore not great for taking photos on.
After adding the acetate I realised EmberStorm no longer self-righted, so I had to trim it down a bit. I've also managed to lose the circlip that holds Entropy's motor can on, but it's quite hard to get off anyway so I'm hoping it won't cause any issues.

Re: Epic Robotics
If I ever heard any potential "famous last words", its those! Haha. Btw, what's the black pole on Entropy for? I thought it might be a self righter but it doesn't look like it does a lot.

Re: Epic Robotics
You thought correctly; the wedge in front of the disk, the side armour, and that pole are all on a hinge, and lift up to self-right or flip people if they somehow got on top of me.
