Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
I reckon you should it Prince because of the colouring
That is pretty much how the 4WD Bulletproof was going to look, but since its going to be a DAD robot again by AWS 39 I didn't want to waste the motors.
Kill-a-chav 2 is in the making, and Kick In The Teeth was started on today, so I should have my full compliment of DAD robots by next time.

Got it running now maybe I should call it Hermes or Mercury. (God with winged feet).
So far all up weight is 125gms but still needs the plastic adding to front and rear scoops.

Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
Rather supprised when I cut a hole in my nice purple chassis to fit a power switch to find that the chasis has a white centre and a purple coating.
I would have thought that would be a lot harder to make than just solid purple unless it is dipped or sprayed on afterwards.

They're dyed after they've been printed in WSF, and the dye doesn't permeate very far into the material. You can find more information here: http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/dyeing_sls.

Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
This looks like being my lineup for AWS38.
Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
Nice to see a variety, used to be all spinners .
How many complete ants do you actually have? I have 7 ants and 2 fleas, with 2 more ants to come (my 3rd DAD robot and my new spinner).

Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
I had no idea so I had to dig them all out.
These ones are all virtually complete apart from
Militant needing a new tyre.
Succulant has the pump removed while I experiment with a smaller pump.
Mutant needs a slight repair to the blade.
It turns out there are 15 Ants and 2 Fleas.
Thats not counting 3 minisumo's and one micromouse wall follower.
