My Secret Revolutionary Design for cOUSIN SHORTYbot turns out to be a Secret Revolutionary Design that the guy that built "Toro" thought up also.

AAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!

Anyway, my housing is different, and I believe better, as I think it will fare better against the Ziggo/Mauler design, which is, let's face it, the nastiest ass destruction design in the world.

But my concept, which is an arm powered by a hydraulic pump a la 'low rider Chevy', and used to quickly flip the opponent was SUCCESSFUL! Part of My Design Plan was to create crowd frenzy by flipping the other bot in the air, and Toro really proved my point.

My design has a feature on the flipping arm that Toro does not have, and my entire bot is shaped differently, but now I know that the underlying premise is workable.

Maybe in ten years the dang thing will be finished.
