the house robot is MASSIVE lol didnt think it was going to be that big

[swanaldo]

Awesome is the word

[john]

Beast Died and got thrown out the arena by Major Damage. LOL!

The new house robot is a serious bit of kit (and looks way cool too!)
BUT.... It has one serious design flaw, It turns out that the gap under the front (when it has its claw resting on the ground) is exactly the same hight as Pillow Torque!
The last thing I remember seeing was PT make contact with another machine at the far end of the arena and vanish from sight under the house robot... Followed by a moment of panic when I thought John was about to drive off not knowing what was under it!!
In the end, it wasnt seen again until Pete, after a bit of a struggle, managed to drag it out at the end of the fight! :sad:


(Note to Mr Findlay... In future, park the bloody thing with its claw in the air... Please!! )

LOL!!! Bless *Remembers Geoffs Face* hehe.
Dont worry the front is going to be slightly different, John just ran out of time to add the small minor things. One of which will stop that from happening to Pillow Torque.

Yes its going to be slightly different....

its going to have air suspension so when PT fits underneath it, the house robot relaxes and just sits on it with big sigh of relief !! ( take the weight of your feet ) thats what they say isnt it ???
