is this the same robot as on my profile pic?

Yes, this is the same bot, but the performance of the chrusher was low. I replace the chrusher for a 4-bar Lifter.

Hobbyweights are a very popular class in the US. According to botrank (http://www.botrank.comhttp://www.botrank.com) there are 129 of them which have fought in the last 18 months compared to 70 feathers and 57 heavies - more hobbyweights than feathers and heavies put together.
