User blog:Nononsensecapeesh/94-97 Competitors - The Beetle



This is Crusher Deluxe, my first ever LEGO Robot and consequently has had more modifications than any of the others. It was just a LEGO Technic mini F1 car at first and I first experimented with making it into a LEGO Robot by redesigning the front wing assembly as a small lifter. Since then the lifter has been modified into a rear-mounted lifting arm that has been strengthened and modified countless times now and has even had to be mounted higher and further back than it was originally to make it more effective. The rear spoiler has also been redesigned and strengthened several times and now the rear end has undergone a re-design so that it is a lot stronger and less vulnerable to being attacked. The addition of Aries means I have had to redesign the flipper with a scoop and have it mounted much lower than intended just to give it a fair chance against opponents with a low ground clearance.

In a recent tournament I held, using all but one of my LEGO robots, Crusher Deluxe came Runner-Up.
