No Tim, No!
I always thought a spot of paint wouldn't go astray on any of your bots, but KO now has that "Mad Max 2" look about it.
Maybe some rust, splattered blood, mud or some cow hide - or even a bulls horn as a spike if we are running with the mad max theme.
I think theres more to style than just LEDs (even though I have 4 of them on mine plus a 10 segment LED bargraph voltmeter), theres the overall shape, perhaps a theme, interesting paintjob, a few of my fave Oz bots that IMHO have style are:
Pinscher, the hannibal lector mask on front, great mechanical movement/style.
PlanB, geometric, symmetric, carbon fibre Mondrian art.
Inspector general, check out the hot rod paint job on the mudguards while it makes your wheels square.
KO, like the Millenium Falcon, the biggest hunk of junk in the galaxy, but its got it where it counts, maybe think of Mad Max 2 & 3.
Adversary, the evil looking crushing claw, fine it got shattered, but lots of guts to try something different.
ElBravo, styled like a Volvo station wagon with air bags from hell.
Battledamage, although a boring and square first revision, its got CO2 and neat mechanics, another person doing something interesting, can't wait to see Revision 2.
Stainless Steel Rat, I dig the shape, the two pods attached at the rear of the body, the brushed Delorean finish, the diminutive raised spikes, a lot of work considering Gary could have just made a diagonal cut into the tank and attached the drives.
Everyone seems charged after Marayong, there should be some crazy stuff turning up on the doorstep at Robowars 2. _________________ "Limitation shows the Master."
