Hi, guys congratulations for your new robot and improvements, specially for that mechanism which allows the robot make those turns with the arms. I would like to give you a tip. Watch on my new website, the photo of robot Champion on the main page (its a link to the video) because it is important to consider speed on the legs instead of the strategy of just sitting by folding the legs, and the robot Melissa with its new hands. That way you will be able to run and take with the hands the opponents. But also it will be useful to add hands to make your robot more intelligent (I mean to be able to program it for different tasks).
Have fun…
