In a jointventure we are rebuilding tomahawk .

Re: Tomahawk 2012

The weapon setup had several issues, it was complicated , messy unreliable and suffered from poor flow. There where serveral buffer tank, and we needed 1 big tank. Mario had the answer to that.
First setup: ( made by me )


Second Setup: ( after more parts that mario had and a afternoon of building)


current setup: (after Mario had some work done )

Now that's a spanner wall to be proud of!

I can only dream to one day have a wall so well covered in spanners.

The robot also looks pretty cool.......
