What colours are best and new robot name

[debbie_sanders]

Hi all
I need some advice please.
We had difficulty see Little Devil when it was in the arena at Portsmouth, can anyone recommend some paint that would make it more visible. I like to idea of glitter paint but am not sure if that will make it more visual during the battles and the boys dont fancy glitter on their manly robot.
We are in the process of getting another featherweight robot and need to run the name past everyone. Harry has decided that he would like to call it Devils Little Helper. Does anyone know of a robot of that name?
Went to the local model shop yesterday to get some bits and bobs and will be remortgaging the house tomorrow
Thanks and see you all in Nottingham.
Debbie and Team Little Devil.

Think that name is ok. I tried metalic red on DB5 once but didnt like it very much so just when to plain bright red. You could always follow whirlpools example and cover it in lights!

Hi Debbie.
Were going to paint Hunter Sky Blue and Midnight Blue (Half/half) using the paints that they use on cars (From a car store)
They have a slight sparkle to them, so you could use them.
If you want your robot to be really visible, then you should get some LED lights and put them on the robot, as they will really make it visible.
Good idea with staying with the theme with robot names, Team Devil-Little Devil and Devils Little Helper.
That way people know that its your robot.
For example, Team Shock named all thier bots after nateral disasters, and Team Hunt (Me) Hunter and our next feather will be called Hunting Dogs (Cluster bot)
Hope that this helps.
