Tronic one is one of those keep it coming robots.

Not much of a threat to other robots, the best it can do is push you in the pits. But at the same time it can take all the punishment you can dish out. And its shape is ideal for catching little spinner.

Inevitably pretty much all of these will have changed a little towards the champs, but this should hopefully give a good idea of the competition. Any more pics? Post em.

Little X2 is entered not Little Spinner 2 or Litter Hitter 2

Graeme repaired the Gearbox on LS2 (3 times faster than before) but the Mag was drawing 100 Amps continous, put some Gaffer tape over the bar to make it more Aero-dynamic and this fell to 60 Amps. This will not last 3 minutes so more is needed, if we have time, but at the moment Big Nipper is getting an overhaul. So you will just have to wait to see what Little X2 is, could even be something new you never know.

For all those that have been asking me for an up to date pic of hornet, I should have one tonight (without the paint job) as it is pretty much ready. Just having a few minor clearance issues with the disc but nothing major.
