Hivemind would not be so stupid as to use anything other than aircraft-grade cardboard which, as we all know, is water resistant, especially if cut correctly using the best CNC (Cardboard Numeric Control) machine.

Be careful not to store the RN-C in damp places as we all know what happens to cardboard when it gets wet.

haha, thanks! (dont worry, the cardboard will go to great use)

But that move is yours, sure i came up with the flip, and thanks for including me (even if i noticed that...) but your the one to put it to creative use. Guess I will have to find my own way to fend off the daleks.

So, I guess its time to let my big secret away. The RN-C. You guessed it. The Robonova-CardBoard Spedcial Edition. The RN-C is half the price of regular, more flexible and even can be found in many popular cereal boxes as fold up.

No really.

Even the electronics can be printed directly. A few miscomings are that the MR C-3024c board tends to be dangerous when heated.

My next project will be the RN-C with flamethrower addition, it has the ability to ignite other RN-C components.

I credit my success to robosavvy, for the forums, beermat, for the large cardboard chunks, hitec for their amazing design, and captkill4fun for inspiration. Thank you so much everyone.

It's all about the cardboard.

Large cardboard chunks of credit go to Hivemind for the principles behind the move as he initially developed it, esp. the key ankle move - albiet not in this context, but in the 'forward handspring' context. I merely had the idea of using the incredible power and balance shifting properties of his move in different situation and merely tweaked some aspects of it (adjusted motor positions for ankles and hands for grip, timing of release, etc. ) to fit the new circumstances, ie owning the Dalek!

But, for the most part, take the Dalek away and 50% of the time I still get the forward handspring as initially demonstrated by hivemind here.

So I guess we both rock?

lol, bullit. If only Robonova had been wielding his Mini Wheats box broadsword, the Dalek would have left well alone!

Beermat, your robonova needs a weapon.
Perhaps a robo-shovel? or a cap'n crunch box cardboard sword?

mmm, ya, the move actually looks a lot cooler the way your using it, damn those sneaky daleks

Now, can your get your robonova to tame it and ride it?

Hive, good spot - it's your flip move modified a little to grip a small amount (as you noticed) and a small change on the ankle move to fit more flush on the base of the Dalek getting the smackdown. Amazing what you can do with (basically) the same move!

As for my avatar, well, we should all be on the lookout for Daleks, and I used the newest one so that people can learn to recognize those sneaky bastiges in their newer form

Impressive, I'm sure the doctor is very proud, whenever he his.
Oldly the robonova seems to cary no weapons.

I'm sorry beermat, but you are incorrect, the stairs were overcome by the daleks ability to float, clearly stairs only defeat the disabled or people who have a wheelchair out of cardboard...oh wait

Other than that, nice way of using the flip move (is it at all altered? he almost seems to grip a little... very nice) to disable your dalek.

I am very jealous of your dalek actually, and your avatar being the newest dalek, very impressive

keep up the good work man!

So, my normally relaxed Robonova finally lost his cool after much taunting from a Dalek. The whole incident was (luckily) caught on tape:

Robonova-1 vs Dalek

Invincible, supreme power of the universe? I think not. Three things can now defeat Daleks - the Doctor, Robonova-1, and stairs.

(Shorter movie with 'takedown' at normal speed and in slow-mo here)
