That's the thing - Beauty 2 and 8 are both beatable (as much as any machine) but the weak points just aren't something you can get at when you're sailing through the air bound for the outside of the arena haha


4WD would go great on Richie though, tracks would be cool but I'm not too sure on how good they are, can always try it if you wanted! I'd personally go for 4WD on the 4 corners of your machine, as best you can. Another thing too, no matter how you think your machine will do, I'd fully recommend just going to it when the time comes - this recent championships was my very first event and I've learned loads just from that alone! The more events you can go to the better I'd say - you learn a lot more about your robot when you're going up against varied types of machines.

In this recent champs, I learned what my main weaknesses were (drums, flippers, anything with pushing power) and now I'm working on counteracting that - likewise I found out that my tires actually wear really fast so next year I'll need spares. Also that I'm a terrible driver.

Best of luck to you though, it's a very solid machine and I can see it going far!
