Hey there, Lindsay. Yes, the "Hyper Saw" actually spins...there's a micro
motor under the hood. I figured if BrikWars makes you take up space for a
propulsion system, it might as well do something. Besides, it's kinda cool
to watch.
As for the design, it was the helmet that inspired me to begin with. The
hyper saw came next with a motor configuration that let me attach the helmet
on top of it. The hardest thing was figuring out how to stick weapons on
the thing...although none of the pictures show it, the cannons can actually
tilt up, down,left and right.
Unfortunately, on the mayhem scale, it didn't even rate. The game ended
before D2002 could make an appearance. But fear not, D2002 will terrorize a
game in the future. And, as a teaser, the city did not go unscathed
(writeup forthcoming).
