Thanks guys, fingers crossed it works when I get the Tx and Rc, and then it'll be competition ready.

May I ask how you did the paint and what type of paint it is?

I actually used some Letraset Promarkers, they look great and are pretty versatile, and you can get metallic colours to make everything look shiny haha. I drew it out in pencil first, went over in pen, and then filled in with certain colours. I'm not too great with paint so I tend to use these instead.

I love the theming and aesthetic of this robot! It'll be one of the coolest looking teams out there. Can't wait to see photos/videos of the finished bot in action. Any plans for which mythical beast will be next?

Well, I do have my first robot, which is a lifter but is poorly built, so once Roc is up and running I plan to gut the internals of my first robot and rebuild it, and I'm thinking of theming it around an Oni, a Japanese demon that had the power to cause disasters, disease and famines and looks like some sort of hideous troll so that should be fun, haha.
