Phoenix (Retired)
Phoenix is an Axe bot driven by two Medium motors. Its axe is powered by another pair of Medium motors, geared 5:3. It weighs 484 grams.
This robot is my first attempt at a robot of this type, and doesn't work as well as I would like it to. It can barely self right, and the weapon is based too low to make full use of the axe. I may upgrade it, or just raise the axe, but it does need an upgrade.
It's showcase is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNVxiECaOVU

Phoenix 2 (Active)
The original Phoenix looked bad and didn't work very well at all, so I decided to build it again from scratch. Phoenix 2 looks so much better and works so much better than it's predecessor, and I'm happy with how it has turned out. It should be a strong contender for the title unless it meets a spinner.
It now weighs 470g.
