I'm amazed I haven't seen this build thread before, that looks like one gorgeous control bot!

That looks beautiful, cracking workmanship! Can't wait to see it fighting.

That is absolutely stunning, I think it's a real contender for the upcoming championships.

It's really nice, very powerful in its grabber, impressed!

Let's see... 1 forum post... Cryptic email address and request for private links to my cad.... How about... No. If you had more forum activity and asked them to be posted in the thread I would have probably said yes.

Hey Giles,

3 quick questions,

1) when casting your wheels, did you use anything to stop the rubber sticking to the mold ?

2) What rubber did you use ?

3) is Mantis returning anytime soon ?
