30lb Fighting Robot-Nyx

Step 6 Final touches

The top armor and the alternate weapons are the last parts to be added to the robot before it is ready for combat. I personally like to add some paint to my robots because I think it makes it more fun for the audience, however that is entirely optional.

After doing some testing, it appears that the weapon drive will need a torque limiter for the flipper attachment. For now, the dual disks are working very well:

Great Robot! My friend builds fighting robots too! He is in the Combot competition... He says that you have to hit it with a sledgehammer and drop it off a high building. If it breaks, then it will certainly break in the competition.

your robot is awesome it has a virtually flat profile... hopefully it fights well... good job
