You're going back to the carbon aramid? Ooooh, excited!

[Kyro]

i am... i have found a good ratio for my resin to get it decently hard....
however the shell i have made is a bit weighty so im going to use the wedge and use polycarb for the sides and back... hoping to keep my front aimed at any spinners and let the carbon aramid take the hits...

i have the front end attached and working already, its just a case of fine tuning and tidying it up then build sides and back from polycarb... heres hoping its all in weight when i am done

Sounds very interesting must have a peak at that when its finished.

testing out the 4th version of mantis... has well over 200g of grab (my scales crap out at 200g)

My one point of concern is mantis now looks like some kinda 3 fingered alien and not a mantis? O.o
Brilliant looking bot though man - I need to get on upgrading Jiggy if I want to keep pace!

[Kyro]

yeah, i had to change up the design a bit to get various modifications to work as intended...

i needed the ability to grab larger bots and the old design couldn't do it and still fit in the cube...

but, it does what its meant to do, and it does it better than it has with any of the previous versions...

there is still plenty more that can be done with it (this version still has 19g free) but its something i will continue to develop and tweak...
