LOL! Don't know where you've been looking, but Mel has spawned into one of the most savage, over aggressive drivers I've seen. I'm sure Jake still has nightmares from the last RoboWars of Scoopy eatting into the gutz of Plan B like a Vulture over a corpse.

Welch, don't underestimate Mel just because she's a lady, otherwise, Orbit and you will be going home red faced.


EDIT: Thanks Big AL for the error check Embarassed

Are we going to get another chance at the Kevlar Pizza box? Or are you bringing something else? Smile

Oh Tim personally I really love the just re-entered from outer space patina, good look, please don’t paint it.

Only problem is these blue wheels I have! hmmmm what to do what to do

As for how KO is actully going I (should you never know) get my ibc back tomrow and is thing is done so it should be going for a test drive tomrow as all the electoronics and mounts are done Very Happy

For the first time I have time just to do little things
For a start add more armor lol then it's movement limmiters for the wedge so I can't get stuck on it

Still need to work on bottom armor and some mini hinged wedges for anit undercutter/wedge on the sides

OMG l knew you'd side with the boys comments regarding the paint job Tim Twisted Evil It's not always a good thing to go with the 'cool only' factor, you know.

But it was worth the effort to try and get KO a bit more attention with some visual effects other than just the 'raw' stuff. It's a no wonder that you boys prefer it that way though... 'plain and toxic'. Wink

Rolf, don't make me laugh so hard... Plan B was just a warm up slurp. You obviously didn't see the latest video's from round 3!

We'll see you in the arena boys and then when the flag drops the bullshit can stop. Rolling Eyes

Well good news and bad news

Good news my robots only about 11 kg!

Bad news is that means the stainless steel armor is being added on the frount as well as a few other fun things

Also just went for it's first drive and it running well
Small radio problems but maybe when I actully unwind the ariril and don't put it siting bettween a plate of steel and electrical wires it might work better lol

Reasion is not sure if one 2.4 pack will be able to handdle 4 motors on 24v
Prob would as once I ran ko on 3.4 ammp sla(though it did run out near end) but not sure
Any opions guys?
