Really like the severe deflective angles u have used.
Also the wheels look like they have some traction to them. _________________ Bots that do not destroy you, only make you stronger.

yeah it's a bit hard to photograph, but you'll see it once it gets scratches on it _________________ The Engine Whisperer

motors now drive the wheels properly, and even mount to the frame nice and strongly
The control system is all mounted, but not wired up yet. It's been tested in Woktronix though so it does work to some degree.
I need to make more of the armour, and then it'll be testing time
It feels strange to work on a robot when there's more than a few days till the event _________________ The Engine Whisperer

Yeah, but the tricky thing is...that the more time you have up your sleeve to think about the damage thats going to be done to it, the more time you want to spend working on it . _________________ It's a She Thing

I just assume all robots will get completely destroyed
This one has a few extra safety bits to reduce damage, but if it comes home in a box I'll still have had fun _________________ The Engine Whisperer

would just like to know how you are going to control it if you cant actually see it; weather that works for or against you in a judges decision , best try for a knockout just to be on the safe side.

dude but your robots look the same even after they are destroyed so why do you care?
nah it'll lose its stealth properties if it gets damaged!
I just need to get the bot seeking auto attack working _________________ The Engine Whisperer

w00t!
Controls are working, and it actually drives pretty well with the dodgy hack job control system
Almost all the armour is finished now too. _________________ The Engine Whisperer

extra w00t!
It's all working now, just needing some minor tweaks and paint.
The weapon is pretty scary, and will hopefully stay together
I weighed it this morning, and it came up at 12.8kg, which I'm pretty happy about since I haven't weighed anything at all during construction _________________ The Engine Whisperer
