Well, was going to give you an update but just read over my post from June, and everythings pretty much the same as then, busy with other stuff last year meant didn't get much dont on the robots themselves.

Kronic: Switched to Lipos for the Euros last year, which has gave me abit more weight to play with. Upgrades for this year include changing the gearing (was going to be done for Dublin, but RS decided to only send me one gear), and a few tweaks to the pneumatics.

Merlin: Will probably go Lipo at some point this year, Nicads are knocking on abit and they get alot of abuse. Other than that not much can be done to it, still runs reliably, just not competitive anymore (current chassis is 8years old).

UFO: Will probably get phased out this year, getting very old and becoming trouble to maintain. Maybe build a newer version at some point.

Goliath: Made his introduction last year, i purposely kept him quiet and out of the way for a lot of the fights until we're confident of the reliability, can't have him breaking down in the middle of the arena! Hoping to make a few upgrades this year, change the gearing abit, he's actually faster then most of you ever see him, don't really need the speed so will gear it down abit more for efficiency. Would like to do a few upgrades to the weapons as well.

Others: The heavyweight axle bot is still in the same state, hope to get it running after this run of events are out of the way, and then move onto building the big Ratchet. Plans are underway to build a new G3, got a better pneumatics system for it now, may be done for GSL 2015!

2013 was a busy year for us, so the robots themselves took a back foot, although this years looking to be even busier, so all what i've said above probably won't happen!
