Mingo Monday returns for its last installment for now!![]()
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed we missed last week, as we were all super busy; in fact, it was the first time the team had met up in full for many a month. It was super valuable to have lots of time to talk about our strategy moving forward as we build the new bot.![]()
At this point, aside from some further sneaky beak upgrades, all our cards are on the table. Our fate is in other people's hands from here.![]()
We'll let you know everything we can, when we can, but whatever happens this new Mingo is being built. We're super excited to show you what it can do.![]()

Much love,![]()

This Mingo Monday we wanted to share with you this standalone version of the rendered animation that pops up in the application video we shared last week.![]()
![]()
In this animation, you can see the large freely hinged, hooked HDPE wings, intended to stop bots dead in their tracks as they try to circle the avian, as well as the 2 independently driven beaks, which for this animation have our more grabber-oriented beaks attached than the aggressively sharp-beaked variant on the render we previously shared.![]()
We'll have plenty of options for beaks, necks, wedges and wings going forward!![]()

Hope you enjoy <3![]()

we <3 u Team PCP - Petunia - BattlebotsDid you see the amazing new Two-Headed Death Flamingo entry for BattleBots? If not, go over to their page and give it a like! We are now convinced all robots need to be pink and have two heads. So we did a concept of what 2 headed Petunia would look like! ![]()

Mingo Monday! Out of the shadows for the first time, this is the new Two-Headed Death Flamingo that we have applied to BattleBots with.![]()
![]()
Featuring the signature beaks of peril, independently controlled with 10x as much power as the previous incarnation and up to 8 hits per second, and hinged flappy wings.![]()
![]()
You may also notice some new elements, hinged wedgelets along the wings, trapping hooks on the wings and a *mysterious hole* in the front of the chassis for a flamethrower. The entire front end is interchangeable with different attachments for different foes, as are the necks, beaks and wings.![]()

Getting into BattleBots would be a dream come true for us. We are a team who have been involved in combat robots for several years (Mingo 1 was built in 2017 and wasn't our first bot!) but who've always wanted to achieve the childhood dream of making it onto one of the big combat TV shows. We believe Mingo's time is now. And we want to thank all of you who've supported us on the journey so far <3![]()
