The only problem is the shape of the robot, as no matter how I design the body, it always looks just like the old Anticide. I think I have got one now, but with all the black HDPE I am using it is starting to look like a micro Hannibalito.
R.I.P parralax. I have retired him and dismantled him. I know this isn't a new robot announcement as the discussion says, but I'm using his parts to make a fairly nippy walker bot who's name is to be decided, so from the ashes of a masterpiece rises the pheonix. (not that parralax was much of a masterpiece)

I don't actually use a gyro for the melty brain system, I use an accelerometer. Pretty much just set the accelerometer up at a known radius, and can then calculate the rotational rpm from the amount of G's the accelerometer sees.
That is a very cool looking robot what's the outer armour made of?
