Some reading and plenty of delicious, big pics: http://sariel.pl/2013/08/the-bat/

I owe many thanks to Mahjqa for inspiration.

This is phenomenal! Picture "six" http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Sariel/TheBat/06.jpg is THE BEST!

Awesome as usual.

Great job on all the model, the pictures, and the video as usual. Do you have any information on the suspension rig that holds the whole thing up and moves it around? I'd be interested to see how that works.

Sure Eric, it's basically the same rig I used here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85327

Only this time I have altered it for higher speeds, since the load is way smaller. There is 1 Medium motor for driving along a pipe, 1 Medium motor for rotating, and 2 XL motors driving two winches directly. So the model technically hangs on the XL motors, but using a worm gear makes everything soooo slow.

OK, I have to ask, was the "Bat" designed by Stark Enterprises, and Tony is taking it for a test drive? Just kidding, great model!

Good tips indeed.

Now that is a tough looking model. Kinda scary too seeing it in the dark in the beginning. Nicely done.
