Meet Vibrant.
Not saying it's gonna win any tournaments but I hope it will create a few laughs.

That's one of the most original robots I've ever seen

How much does it weigh?

The version in the picture was almost 150g, but after getting it confirmed that it should be classed as a walker/shufflebot I am working on bigger motors, aluminium blades with Carbide tips and going for the 225g limit, the death hum is now twice as loud, I think it should turn heads

I like it! Looks quite difficult to catch. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

Spinner blades upgraded to aluminium with carbide tips.
