OD-CX

I was thinking about what I could do with the newly acquired bucket wheel excavator parts. Something that I couldn't build without these big yellow circles. That's how this strange idea came to be. 

The arms are motorized: they grab or drill and retract into the wheels. The compact and functional hand is my favourite part of the robot

The two-wheel design makes it wobble a lot. Someone on youtube commented that it's headbanging to the music - genius!!! 

I might try making one with adjustable wheel angles next! Any suggestions?

Check it out on LEGO Ideas!!!

Nice, I like how quick it is.

Fun ride. The gripper is compact, but looks a bit flimsy.

Looks like a mix between a hailfire droid and a terminator. Love it.

First thought was a HailFire droid from Star Wars! Like the speed and the attachments, though the claw arm does seem a bit wobbly...

Hehe, a really nice build  Like others here, my first thought was the hailfire droid. Escpecially like the gripper arm coming out, and also the way you use the clamshell buckets as fairings around the BB

Thanks guys! I agree about the gripper arm. It hasn't fallen apart yet but I'll look into it because I want to use the same idea for another MOC

BattleBots? I don't think it could stand a battle for very long
