The only way I could describe what happened to rapture is like bending a paperclip... It bent a lot in melbourne, so yesterday it started to break apart _________________ ( •_•)

OK thanks I have the vapor forge link working now so I have seen the video fights.
The Rapture Cobra fight was brutal; I don’t think the Melbourne wear and tear is wholly responsible for Raptures breakages.
Hope he gets a proper check over before fighting any Overkill bots; they’re the match ups I really won’t to see. _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

Those are the fights I DON'T want to see! Whichever way it goes, it will be a very expensive three minutes. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

guess thats what hapens when 4 bolts that can be bent (i think they where bent from the start to get hte motor in the right spot) hold your weapon motor to your bot.
would be interesting to see if a fuly funtional rapture took on a team overkill. quite entertaining 2.

There is plans for a fully high tensile frame (current one is half mild) and a secure adjustable UHMW motor mount. If I can get the weapon sorted, then I say bring it on!
Hey, I won't be crying if my $5 fan motor breaks... _________________ ( •_•)
I don’t think Nick was referring to any costs associated with Rapture when he was talking "expensive".
More of an even if he wins or looses there is going to be some wear and tear type thing.
Nice that he now understands how we feel when we fight one of his bots. _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

So Ive caught up with Angus and watched the fights, well done Dylon!
Some new bots I see, cool-(Id like to see Caber come back with the
power factor sorted out, thats the type of low lifter Im nutting out now!)
Im really looking forward to the next round, and Ive dusted Chip off to get
him ready for the LW event.-Jas
