Just done some testing with Seraphim and found it works well without any steel armour/Counterbalance plate on the front this saves 2.3Kg!! and now makes the robot about 12 Kg weight.
I may put a bit back on so I can fit a longer sword, or an axe. What do you think it needs?
Who can stand against The Great Seraphim?
I was wondering if anyone was willing to try to push Seraphim in the pit, or flip it OOTA, there is a fiver for the first to do this, anyone brave enough to try!!
Since my exams finish next week that should leave plenty of time to get Whirlwind up and running so I can have a go at getting Seraphim OOTA
Anyway here are the stats for Whirlwind
