new robot on the way!

So far it's called DumBel.
The weapon is still in question, but it does have armour, so might handle a bit more spinner action than Stealth did Smile

Is that two gas cyclinder bottoms?

Still thinking of the same design you were a few months back?

Very Happy I can see 2 rocket motors facing opposite directions catapulting Dumbell into a mighty spin of power.

DumBel worked better than expected!

I'm not too convinced about the effectiveness of flame throwers as a weapon, so I may end up changing it to something else, but it was certainly a lot of fun - and pretty different to previous stuff I've done.
