Initial Ideas
Myth is considerably more ambitious than our previous Antweight, Bobblebot. The current plan is to make use of the much lighter motors and batteries that have come about since Bobblebot was designed to create a four wheel drive, full body spinner (FBS). In theory at least this is feasible however building a FBS is never easy, due to the immense forces that act upon it when contact is made with another robot. This was evident in Robot Wars, where the only successful full body spinner was Typhoon 2 which won Series 7.
