old robots

Yeah, its a shame when you have an old robot in fighting condition, and you just dont fight it. There are some robots that cant fight anymore, unfortunately, for whatever reason.

Bulldog is about as old as I feel comfortable with still fighting, at the champs I got a good flip from Ripper and that finally twisted the chassis mounts too far so am making them all fresh, the armor is pretty good so once I have the chassis solid plus a few upgrades it should be up to speed with most

I've always wanted to buy an older machine and run it in competitions, something like Stinger if that ever went up for sale - fewer moving parts, but a lot of fun to run in fights. Always wonder what happens to some of these older machines, if they do go into a workshop and just sit there fully assembled or if they get dismantled and turned into other projects or scrapped... would definitely be a shame for the latter to happen!

That was the beauty of SMIDSY when I had it, was a known bot that was simple

I've spent the last year or so trying to convince Team Enigma to give me Mr Nasty as a gift but he still says it's his hahaha

Matt, I've been through fewer lightbulbs than you have old robots.

Ahh, Smidsy! That's a name I remember! Bet that was a good one to drive about
There is something pretty cool about the older, more well known machines... It's like owning an iconic car or something!

Speaking of old bots, what's the news on X-Terminator? I know Team Enigma bought them but haven't heard if it's combat ready or not.
