Finally accomplished something I've wanted to achieve for a while.

Here's my new walker - Lead Piping in the Billiard Room
http://buildersdb.com/botpics/9967.jpg

Features a 360 degree turrent with an axe so it can strike at an opponent from any angle. Always been a fan of robots like this (Gammatron, RT-81 etc) and always thought it was achievable in antweight form. Contains 2 sabretooths, 2 lipos, 2 recievers, 4 motors and is prone to fits of self destructive rage.

It's basically rubbish and will either be pushed out or kill itself very quickly, but I'm so attached to it now that I'm keeping it in my team. It's great fun and much more interesting than another pushbot.

The only thing it'll damage is itself. Its highly unstable. But good fun.

Final two from us for this event, both Gemma's.

Cappucino with Sprinkles
http://buildersdb.com/botpics/9966.jpg

Green. Lifty spike. "Sprinkles" being played in the picture by my nanoweight Haz but as the main body is only 108g, it can be clustered with any of my nano sized things.

And the previously signed up Eiffel Tower Vertigo is now called Ninja, for obvious reasons.

Surprisingly scary one this! Is a thwackbot, really hard to drive, but if it can get spun up before it drives itself off the ring, it hits like a train. 30:1 motors, 11.4v lipo, big wheels. Good fun.
