[TC11] Bucket Wheel Terminator

[paave]

My entry for the contest is Bucket Wheel Terminator

Signature move: Bucket Saw. It's powered with the Buggy Motor through the gears and a chain.



Besides, it has an additional move: 'boom' lift. M-motor and a small actuator do the job. Despite the optical illusion, the boom is 44 studs long.

Drive is with 2 L-motors connected directly to threads. It provides good speed and mobility.

IR receivers are put in a comfortable place to control, and fixed strongly.
Check out a short video demo (be careful of agressive music):

Can't say the weapon is strong enough for a real action, but I liked the idea itself.

i like the idea too! this bot looks funny to play, if you success to add some mass on the "blade" (?) that will have an enough powerful kick to be effective against some other bots.

PS: i love fast tracked veichles

Thanks. I thought of it, but in this case it would become neither a blade or saw, nor a thing looking like a BWE 'bucket'. If it participates in a real battle, maybe it is worth to add some mass, but it is actually not going to do, so I don't know.

I like it like that, with the high speed rotation, that gives the illusion of a real blade!

Nice design!
