Recycle Rush was a terrible game but those robots had such great designs. It’s fantastic what beauty can result simply by removing the bumpers and the horizontal size constraints.
Look at these beautiful monstrosities.
This is “Depth Charge” from 2826, a robot that picked up the three floor cans during auto. Stunning.
This is “Batman and Robin” from 148. It’s two separate robots connected by an electrical tether. Magnificent.
This is “Endeavour“ from 118 (no stranger to fabulous robot designs). It’s just... so gold. And the pneumatic cylinders controlling the can grabbers made the best sounds.
This is “Pal V17“ from 237. Maybe it wasn’t as successful as the others listed, but it’s got such a cool can grabber design. It’s a freaking rake. And that black and yellow... [kisses fingertips like a French chef]
