Blood Gulch Robots

I'll finally have a thread of my own for this kind of stuff. My inaugural entry into this will be the return of one of my more infamous entries and my planned HW entry for Crazy Bots.

So yeah, he's undergone a complete reconstructive makeover since the original version was pretty fail. Now he's re-imagined as a sort of 40' style flipper complete with a raised stopper at the back to prevent blatant monster truckin' action and has leet razor wire attitude adjusters along the sides. Not sure how much they'll do but I think they look pretty cool.

It's non-invertable, but he'll make do with a high powered flipper to self-right.

In theory the razor type things on the sides thin out to sharp edges (not flat) so they aren't a solid balance point. Plus the flipper pretty ranges up to almost perfectly vertical when fired so that should be enough thrust and range to bail me out.

I think he meant balancing on the back. It'd probably end up stranded on the green back plate a fair few times.

Ahhhh... Fair point. I think that's an easy fix.

It'd look cooler if the font wasn't stretched in the lossy way that MS paint does it.

And more new stuff for Crazy Bots with an updated drawing of Spike. I heard a lot about how the previous version's teeth were too smallish so they've been beefed up considerably, otherwise he's mostly the same.

How apt with the NWO logo on the top, and the robot looks like it's taken some steroids. =P

Seems pretty good in general, if a bit easy to get under for my liking. Should put on a reasonable showing, though.

maybe its just me but i think it would work work better with 2 teeth, as the gaps between the teeth are a bit small atm.

You may have a point there. I'll have to look into it and see how it looks with only two teeth. Fortunately there's still plenty of time to iron out the kinks.

Wheels look kinda thin in the front view. IMO it'd be kinda tough to maneuver with wheels that skinny.

Welp, thanks for the feedback guys. With it I was able to make some improvements to Spike! :cool:

Now featuring a team logo! They're all the rage these days! :D
