Okay. Me and Alex have agreed on SUNCUST [stats up] and Flank Attack [Stats for it should be up soon]
SUNCUST and Judo Chop! Will be replacing Dr. Evil and Terror Gear in football. SUNCUSTs jaws have been modified to do next to nothing except clamp the ball [but not damage it as the spikes have been removed] And Judo Chop!s axes have had the blades removed and now do pretty mcuh nothing except just grab the enemy if they charge for the goal and hopefully prevent the ball from going in.
Also, you have two of my robots in new blood [Jack Kennedy and Vampire Killer] when you said we were limited to one, so drop Jack Kennedy.
Oh by the way, Cosmic Thunder has hinged wedges all around making it at 0mm all around. Underneath those wedges the clearence is something like 8mm. So that should be that over.
I cant find that mistake for any of my other robots though...
I like keeping helpful quotes in case I ever need to refer for information. Heres one that I think Nick once said:
People keep going around bragging about 1 mm clearence as if it were a good thing. But its better to be tossed around by high wedges than to get stuck on the smallest pieces of shrapnel. 1 cm or higher is preferred, perhaps less in some areas far from the wheels. ESPECIALLY FOR FULL-BODY SPINNERS.
On a different note Im working on some new robots at the moment to put in here, sorry about the delay.
