Puckbot.
Ok this is my first bot It's puckbot.
It all started when I was on the internet and someone on the battlebot chat said" Well I'm building an antweight.." I promptly responded "What in the world is an ant" I then learned that an ant is a 1 pound bot and that it was EXTREMELY easy to build...as well as cheap! So I decided "Im buildin one of these things!" I got my Rc toy and made some mods(different batteries some new hook ups etc.)and it's now in its final stage of completion. My ant weighs 15 ounces approximately with the axe. Well heres some pics!

My ant originaly before i took it apart and fiddled with it.

After Ive taken the top off and removed the damage sensor.

Well there are some big changes here, the top is still removed the triplea NiMHs are duct taped to the front and the batteries are soldered to the appropriate places. Everything is set all we have to do is reassemble the cases.

Here is Puckbot as is now. It has a kick ass axe now that sliced my hand and cut into my shoe! This is a thwack bot so the actual robot spins while the axe sits there horizontally and "thwacks" into the other bot from the side.

This bot has now become part of Team Pink. A new robot Team. Here is Little Pink Kitty of Doom with the axe and new wheels and all good looking and stuff. Taken the night before RR2.

And here it is the day after... Note the new wheels (the old ones were torn off by One Fierce Beer Coaster) and the missing spikes. In the one match Pink Kitty had against OFBC, It stood up amazingly well and only lost due to the wheels lossage (and a lack of an effective weapon)

Well obviously since pink kitty record was something like 1-8 at RR2 it needed to be improved so I tried a Biohazard style carboard weapon... IT wasnt that good though.

So I took another shot at it. This time im using this old plastic thing that i was planning to use for one of my own bots but meh. IT kicks ass now. Pink kitty is ready to go! (and OFBC/OFTC proof).
