christopher... its Ripper Evo which is active at the moment, the old ripper is now retired as it is far too old, bent and been terrorhurtzd too many times.
Ripper, Ripper Evo...same difference if you ask me.
I mean, who really does go about calling any of the Firestorm series by its appropriate number in the context, for example? Its a generic name for generic speech. Its not like, say, still calling Ripper T-Bone.
No robot is bad enough to be scrapped... The original Ripper was good, and it will survive. Don't scrap it Jonno! If it has been scrapped already, then... If it hasn't, then leave it for Nostalgic purposes.
Ripper Evo...... Or as I renamed it... Ripper.. is now DEAD.
Two years ago it was built for the Uk champs at RIAT.. however after so many changes inside its got old and tired, so its time for a new one !!
Smaller
New more reliable and more powerful drive system.
New ( hopefully more powerful ) Flipper.
No 6mm polycarb base, now all hardox.
Weight - probably 140kg
Same green and yellow paint... so its still RIPPER !!
