I had one of those motors in Flail whale; they pack a serious punch! I had thought about trying something a little along these lines a while back, so I'll be very interested to see how it does!

I can't wait to see that in action (and then self destruct when I hit the polycarb down into your blade with Baby Hell :) )

Looking rather impressive in the metal :) that is a very nice shiny disc too, hopefully I'm not against it...

Thanks for all the kind words!

Dave W: I hadn't thought of that, but just checked it and don't think it will self destruct unless you push it down in a specific place with a lot of force :P

Dave L: Yes, amazingly despite me doing this for almost 12 years now this will be the first time I've entered more than 2 robots in the same tournament. And even then one of them is a converted toy :P. I'm hoping I can step my production speed up once I have my own printer.

That blade is sharp! Now, on a totally unrelated note, how do I cancel? :P

If you look at the dates on the post, it was only from a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know how it'll fair yet :P. We'll find out after the AWS.
