THE BUILD + PICTURES

3 STEGS 2 HEAVEN is different to the previous Steg Robot's. It does not have the
Flipping Tail this time - It has a new weapon, which is a Spinning Disc on the front.
It also runs both ways up. It has the same Wheels, Speed Controllers, Batteries and
Motors as the previous Robots.

3 STEGS 2 HEAVEN is now complete. At the Robot Wars Extreme Event we
noticed a few flaws in the design:

  • The Wheels - They were too exposed. We have not had this problem before as the
    wheels were on the inside on the previous Robots, but on this Robot they are on the
    outside.
  • The Weapon - although it can put holes in other Robots, it didn't give total destruction!
    like we hoped.
  • Speed Controllers - We had a problem with the speed controllers, which made the
    Robot loose control. The speed controllers have always been matched to their Motors
    and should not have been adjusted! (Was it a freak accident or was it foul play???)
  • Finally we still have 28 kilo's to play with.
  • All of these problems apart from the speed controllers have now been fixed.
