A bid to bring back tornado

[mattsdragons]

(was unsure of were to post)

I've considered doing it for a while now and I think it's about time tornado made a comeback

Such a amazing bot is just being used for advertisement currently and talking to one of the guys from team tornado it still works so why not bring that bot back into a competitive standard, into 2011 and see it back in the arena were it is ment to be?

without giving too much away my new heavy is a cross between tornado, the new merlin and 540 so watch this space (build diary coming

So it's going to be a amazing pusher, have a bar flipper and me quick? And also burn out motors every fight

they probably wouldn't for the same reason that typhoon 2 would only ever be used for demo purposes (once we get around to repairing it). Too valuable and iconic to have it trashed in an arena now

[jonny]

nope just taken aspects of each of the robots, there will be no flipper and fingers crossed the motors won't burn out every fight

It could hold it's own I think and if the armour gets updated then it could become a competitive bot

And were would you demo the lethal bot that is typhoon 2?

[typhoon_driver]

it could be spun up in the robochallenge arena safely enough, and as long as the opponent was something that would disintegrate like a pc

[mattsdragons]

That would be a good bit of driving there

Oh, please fire up Tornado. Even if it is just a demo, I just want to see it move again!
