Doubt I can get myself over there anytime soon, but I hope to get a functional Melty Brain antweight shipped over for Joey to drive at some stage.

This is basically Kruger I posted several pages back, but I started rebuilding Kruger with a carbon fiber chassis and faster drive motors, so I decided to just keep the robot as its and give it to my girlfriend to drive. It was renamed Scarlet.

That is one robust spinner very nice indeed and you can really see the gyro effects in the slowmo video.
I take it Stig has Titanium armour, judging by the sparks.
No dropoff zone in your arena's can you still emigrate for ?10.

If you come over by boat illegally, we will provide you with free accommodation, a job and allow you to force your religion upon others. It only costs the Aussie tax payers a fortune

Enter the country legally, we'll make you apply for a 12 month VISA, make you provide evidence that you can afford to stay here and then run all your belongs thing customs...

/rant on stupid Aussie politics...

That melty brain is awesome and silly, what was the problem with the brain?

It didn't have one... It was just an receiver connected to the brushless controller which turned the motor on flat out. The idea was for it to just hockey puck around the arena until it hit the opponent, which kinda worked till it went down the pit or killed itself. Was one of those "Hey, this could be really funny! Lets build it the night before the event!" moments

Will eventually get back to work on uMBX which is my proper meltybrain antweight.
