Velocirippa RIP

[mightymouse]

Velocirippa is now dead, due to the fact that I have cut up the old chassis.

The good news is the best bits are now the base for the new heavy - meggamouse. Pic on profile - still a bit to do yet, outer plates are timber so I know how much metal to order.

Velocirippa RIP

Ahh RIP Velocirippa it will be sadly missed.
The new one is looking good though, when do you reckon it will be finished by?

[mightymouse]

Velocirippa RIP

Aiming for Portsmouth, it is on schedule, but that is assuming everything works first time.

I will miss Velocirippa, but I wont miss the cold nights in the shed making new lids, or the itchy arms for days after events.

Shane, it will be just as much fun fighting Envy, meggamouse will be a lot like Velocirippa but less complicated drive and weapon systems, so should prove more reliable.

Shame, Velocirippa was a firm fan favorite to me ever since I saw it first in the series 3 football.

Velocirippa RIP

Meggamouse, so even bigger ears to get stuck on?

I will miss Velocirippa, I think lots of smaller fans will do as well. It was always a very colorful robot.

Velocirippa RIP

Looking good Trev! Seems like a scaled up version of the featherweight?

[mightymouse]

Velocirippa RIP

The featherweight is competitive John so why not stick to a proven design.

Shane - if I get round to fitting a buddy-box I will need a button man again.

The original Velocirippa became Mighty Mouse after its meeting with disco-inferno way back in RWExtreme 1. I still have the original lids so it could live again - it was my favourite machine, the artwork always turned heads - and it got me onto the tele when the machine was rubbish.

It means killing Mighty Mouse though........

Perhaps a poll on the forum - Old Velocirippa or Mighty Mouse - over to you.........

Velocirippa RIP

Well Meggamouse will be continuing the mouse theme in the heavyweight category so rather than have Mighty Mouse and Meggamouse my vote is for bringing back the old Velocirippa
The artwork was always, well, a work of art :P

[swanaldo]

Velocirippa RIP

stick to your new robot trev and just have the one for now. see how it goes and if you feel like you need 2 robots then build next year. put all your efforts into megamouse is my advice it will rock and roll dude

[robotwars]

Velocirippa RIP

yeah, concentrate on the new one, but dont get rid of the mouse.

10 fingers, 10 toes, thats 20 votes for keeping mighty mouse!!
