It was a pretty good day Smile
Especially when rapture ruptured Very Happy

Still... it hits damn hard... Watching Andrews old shell being smacked around the arena by Rapture was pretty impressive to say the least!!

Did any of Raptures opponents last 3 minutes?

i think misfortune vs rapture went the entire time after the motor broke off rapture.

The only way I could describe what happened to rapture is like bending a paperclip... It bent a lot in melbourne, so yesterday it started to break apart Laughing

OK thanks I have the vapor forge link working now so I have seen the video fights.

The Rapture Cobra fight was brutal; I don’t think the Melbourne wear and tear is wholly responsible for Raptures breakages.

Hope he gets a proper check over before fighting any Overkill bots; they’re the match ups I really won’t to see.

Laughing Those are the fights I DON'T want to see! Whichever way it goes, it will be a very expensive three minutes.

guess thats what hapens when 4 bolts that can be bent (i think they where bent from the start to get hte motor in the right spot) hold your weapon motor to your bot.
would be interesting to see if a fuly funtional rapture took on a team overkill. quite entertaining 2.

There is plans for a fully high tensile frame (current one is half mild) and a secure adjustable UHMW motor mount. If I can get the weapon sorted, then I say bring it on! Twisted Evil

I don’t think Nick was referring to any costs associated with Rapture when he was talking "expensive".
More of an even if he wins or looses there is going to be some wear and tear type thing.

Nice that he now understands how we feel when we fight one of his bots. Smile

So Ive caught up with Angus and watched the fights, well done Dylon!
Some new bots I see, cool-(Id like to see Caber come back with the
power factor sorted out, thats the type of low lifter Im nutting out now!)

Im really looking forward to the next round, and Ive dusted Chip off to get
him ready for the LW event.-Jas
