Its 4wd. The selfrighter is being made, but there wasnt time to get it finished for this event. The self righting arm is made, and dave has the gears. We had the disc spinning upto about 700+ Rpm and it drove lovely, but then one of the speedos went. 2 new 120A ones will be on their way soon so it wont be long before its spinning again. Dave drove it into a big plastic box at that speed and sent it flying - the disc didnt slow down at all, so im hoping it does that in the arena too!! but at 3500+ rpm

it looks cool thats for sure, its just a shame you guys dont do more events so we get see it working !!!

next outing is prob in 5months i hope, its 4wd as g-boy said, 2 front wheels are mega grippy (those over priced whyachi things) and the back ones are pretty slippy, so it grips well and holds a straight line but the body slides ouround the disc when it turns. The front wheel axles are inline with disc axle (near enough). similar principal to razer....sgud!

[robotwars]

it certainly looksgud !!

us flipper boys should get together and build a mini chaos 2

mini razer v mini hypno v mini chaos 2..... how cool would that look !!!!

ill speak to mr lear about it and maybe we can get one together !!

i would of liked my clusterbot to be a similar design to gemini, but i just couldnt work out how do it with the weight, and i wasnt sure what gemini used originally for armour either.

would have to have all the classics then like mini tornando mini firestorm

Get Stu to update Kitty, Ill make panic attack, and we will make fake DVDs and sell them as genuine RW stuff!

Quality plan
