Sorry to hijack, but what charger do you use, and what's the average price for such a charger?

Edit: yes, you, haha.

Completely redesigned Metalbeak in DT today for easy building, space, and a wider weapon:

The B¼rkert is from Hannibalito, and is not part of the pneumatics system.

Looks good Jarvis

Only thing I would comment on is that I would prefer you not to use that paint scheme, as it is very similar to that of our robots and I can see it being quite confusing for the crowd.

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

Haha, it looks like you have just designed the Flipper part of Explosion! Do away with all the other crap!

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

OK then, it had crossed my mind people might get them confused, so is this better?

It's still black and yellow, but different to Explosion.

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

From a distance it looks the same
looking good BTW

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

looks pretty, what are the dimensions? one thing i would suggest is to get the sides slanted and maybe make it shorter if possible. what is the big silver lump attached to the buffer tank? by the way, you should totally get the ram and buffer done in ferrari red!

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

What I'm trying to point out is that a lot of teams have a colour scheme:

Tilly: Orange + Black
Toon: Black + White
Bud: Black + Silver
Us: Yellow + Black

These area way of identifying robots and their teams, and it your team would probably stand out better with a different one.

Re: Metalbeak (FW) Build Diary

You're aspiring to dullness? Seriously?

Large flipper like that you should be able to get a fantastic paint job. Humongous Clip art on it - like, say for example that Biohazard sign on your avatar. Come on fame effect going right up the wedge of your machine - go nuts.

Chevrons . Such a clich.
