I dont know, I havent tested the self-righting but I have tested the lifter in battle. When I got under Tiny Toon at Huddersfield, the stupid plug for the failsafe had fallen out meaning I couldnt stack him against the wall:sad:

Ahh, the last ever Zeobot competing, when will it go extinct, i wonder? Lol!
Sorry, looks good Liam (Just incase, WhamettNuht off of YouTube)
Just a bit concerened, how well does it flip?
Or do you use it for a Pusher than anything else?

[liambryant]

Know who U are Matt! If the lifter works the next time Im in the arena, it will slowly tip them over or stack them against the wall. Id like it to go fast but unfortunalty, pneumatics are difficult and dangerous for inexperienced people like me to work with

[calumco]

what are battles like? i will hopefully get my first one next sat at RR do you get chucked about much? im worried about all my hard work getting ran over by major damage

[teamhunt]

Well, ive never had a battle, but Liam did.
Im planning for my first event to be Easter, Colchester Roaming Robots 2009.
Hunter should be done by then!
But im sure that you will have your heart going beserk, because, yes you WILL be flipped, rammed, axed, picked up or trod on (Majour Damage!)
Good luck at the event, im going so hopefully we might meet each other!

Ok, im a regular visitar to RRs events, so during the 1st show to 2nd show break, i usually get to stay behind and go in the pits!
So i might be seeing you there!

[razerdave]

When you come into the pits, ask for me because Id like to meet you

[calumco]
