Son of Detonator upgrade


You might have heard of Detonator, well he has been rebuilt and renamed Son of Detonator!
Changes:
New drive motors: servos. Why? Don't want to faff about with speed controllers.

Different aerial setup: middle not front. Why? Less vulnerable than at front.

Steel pads removed: for less weight. Why? Don't want to strain servos.

Emergency cutoff plug: for easy shutdown if loss of control. Why? Won't be able to compete without one.

Things that have stayed the same:
Weaponry: ram plate and spikes (spikes were different). Why? Want it easy to repair.

Armour: perspex. Why? Want it lightweight and durable.

The tactics:

We thought we shouldn't have tactics planned because we don't know what will happen, for example if you plan to push them into the pit before the fight during the fight it is unlikely to happen because the opponent will act differently than the one in you plan, making it a useless tactic, if you make tactics during the fight it will be easy because you know what is going on and what is a suitable idea or battle plan.
