The Harvester (Active)
The Harvester is a Horizontal Spinner-armed robot. It was driven by two Medium motors. One Medium motor powered the spinner, geared down 5:1 (40:8). It weighed 481 grams.
This used to be the most destructive robot I had, until I upgraded Whirlwind. It had no srimech though, and was much to fast for it's own good, and so needed upgrading.

The Harvester (MK II)
The Harvester is now a little larger, but is still powered with the same motors. It also now has a srimech, powered by a Medium motor, geared from a worm gear to a 24 tooth gear. The wheels are also smaller, and are geared down 3:5 for a slower drive. It is also now 487 grams.
The robot is now much more controllable, and can compete against flippers without worry. This is also its main strength, as it can battle anything and will compete well. The only weakness is its small wheels, so if it gets stuck on a Lego plate, nothing more can be done for it.
