Here is the product of the spare parts I had - 2-2 Liftman, which comes in at a trim 132g. A hybrid of Panic Attack and Vlad the Impaler of sorts with its lifting forks and fast motors (I thought they were 300RPM). Once again, it's run by parts bought from Bristol Bot Builders and got a bit of assistance from Alex Shakespeare about wiring the weapon motors to a Vex 29. While the forks are not the strongest to lift opponents up consistently, it can self right the machine and is just fun to control. It can even sort of make itself walk with the forks.

Re: The adventures of an antweight robot building nerb
A year on from my last build, I had enough parts lying around to make one more. The Ting Goes Grrrab - another machine of mine named after a dead meme, ya dun know - is a grabbing control bot resembling a dune buggy with big chunky Pololu wheels and a low wedge with an aluminium plate in it to reinforce it. The weapon is not the most rigid, but the machine is very fast and is hopefully strong enough to take punishment from spinners, because I'll be entering my first competition in Bristol on Sunday 13th March.

I love how your signature just makes it look like you've got a posse behind you echoing every word
