I've been working on designing a new Nyx for Motorama 2015. It might get done in time for Dragon Con, but I'm planning to take my time and do it right.

Crusher:

The core concept is that the ~17lb base platform can have the weapon modules quickly swapped to adapt to the arena/opponent of the moment. My target is a changeover time of under 5 minutes between bot on the table and bot ready to fight again with fresh batteries.
Lifter runs a DeWut in low with an additional 9:1 reduction to a ~23" arm.
Hammer runs an a28-150 Ampflow with 18:1 reduction to a 14.5" arm mounted via a 60ft-lb torque limiting clutch.
Crusher runs dual Gimson GLA750-S's current limited to ~500lbf each. With the effective reduction due to the linkage I'm anticipating approximately 670lbf at the tip of the claw.
