Velocirippa RIP

Looking good Trev! Seems like a scaled up version of the featherweight?

The featherweight is competitive John so why not stick to a proven design.

Shane - if I get round to fitting a buddy-box I will need a button man again.

The original Velocirippa became Mighty Mouse after its meeting with disco-inferno way back in RWExtreme 1. I still have the original lids so it could live again - it was my favourite machine, the artwork always turned heads - and it got me onto the tele when the machine was rubbish.

It means killing Mighty Mouse though........

Perhaps a poll on the forum - Old Velocirippa or Mighty Mouse - over to you.........

Trev

Well Meggamouse will be continuing the mouse theme in the heavyweight category so rather than have Mighty Mouse and Meggamouse my vote is for bringing back the old Velocirippa :)
The artwork was always, well, a work of art :P

stick to your new robot trev and just have the one for now. see how it goes and if you feel like you need 2 robots then build next year. put all your efforts into megamouse is my advice it will rock and roll dude

yeah, concentrate on the new one, but dont get rid of the mouse.

10 fingers, 10 toes, thats 20 votes for keeping mighty mouse!!

:)

only so u have something to swing round the arena jonno you nasty man! lol

thought id but in and say you should keep mighty mouse so that you have the complete mouse family lol

Yeah, absolutely Trev. Im really looking forward to see the new Mouse in action- I vote to keep Mighty Mouse as well though. Just to drag you OT for a moment; looking at the pic of Meggamouse on your profile it seems to be standing on one of those scissor-jack trolleys. If so, where did you get yours and is it any good? I had to lift Ka-Pow! off and onto the bench a couple of times earlier in the week and even with the ram and batteries out of it, I wish I hadnt...

John, you can get them from RS,there well good we would have one but for the price they cost i just make my dad get a back ache

on the rs website search for hydraulic scissor tables
