Good by millipede. You will be missed
Millipede MW7
At Mechwar's 7 I used a winch to pull it to
the ceiling before spinning up the weapon, however every time I came down
it went unstable and broke itself. I did win one match when my opponent drove
himself into the arena spinner.
Millipede MW6
Flame-thrower and more fire.
Centipede Version 3
This version added a new top with stab and slash cutting tips.
It took second place at twin cities
mechwars.
Centipede Version 2
Centipede was rebuilt in to a Middle weight(120 pounds) after the battlebot
rule change in 4.0.
As you can see I kept the legs and added a new spinner top.
Centipede Version 1
As you can see by the image it is a walking bot with 8 legs on each side.
(sorry about the clutter at my pit table) The bot is made out of aluminum
and a wood looking plastic is adhered to the aluminum. The blade is 3 feet
long and spins horizontally at 2000 RPM.
