Now you can battle your chess two ways. Traditionally on a chess board or combine your powers to form the ultimate chess fighting robot.

Had this idea a while ago and this contest gave me the perfect opportunity to make it happen. Having to use Tinkercad to make it happen was wonderfully educational too. It's a limited tool in many way and the limitations were in their own way liberating.

TinkerCad Files:
Scaled: https://tinkercad.com/things/dm5lLLYUl1q
Original Size: https://tinkercad.com/things/beTFmjGvzMu

EDIT: Updated STLs with new versions to fix printing problems in original versions. Now on v1.2. Old plate renamed "V1" for historical purposes.

EDIT2: Discovered that some of my pieces, most notably the knight, exceeded the dimensions stipulated in the contest rules. Added a scaled down plate that fits the contest requrements. Called it "1.2 small". Individual pieces are still the larger size.

EDIT3: 1.3 small added that thickens the connections to the pawns and removes the tabs connecting them. 1.2 (big) not tested yet, I have no reason to believe it won't work as is so I'm leaving it.

EDIT4: Taking this off WIP status becauase any future work will be in version 2.X. (See deritives)
