Bad Habit Mk II was put together in a short period of time - I was running very low on time and money to build a bot for the May 2001 event. By the time I got that cleared up, I didn't have the resources to build any new designs, so I basically rebuilt Bad Habit with many of the lessons I learned in Vegas.

The most visible difference was taking off the rear wedge on the back, the reason I lost my fight in Vegas. I did recycle the front armor plate to give it that "Been There, Done That" look.

Bad Habit Mk I was my first bot and my introduction into the world of robotic combat. A simple, lightweight wedge that I learned a lot from. Primarily built out of aluminum and polycarb, it had the claim of receiving the most hammer blows of any bot at the Vegas 2000 event. Notice the virgin blued steel armor on the front - it never looked that nice again.
