Check out the producer's website for teasers to see how good it is for yourself!

Interesting Mini-sumo build

We can't laser-cut sintra (PVC=bad stuff when burned), but milling it works well, as this builder shows. The asymmetric motor layout works, as proven by this contest-winning design (scroll to the bottom of the page).
