Finally we can enjoy the photos of the first prototype of the new Rollout and Roo-yo prototype: the Calabrone, that means 'Hornet' in Italian (hence the double name).</p> <p><img src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs394.snc3/23980_368598400846_128357260846_3725677_1596967_n.jpg" width="300" /></p> <p><img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs434.ash1/23980_368598420846_128357260846_3725679_5358723_n.jpg" width="300" /></p>This is the result of a collaboration between Rollout and their international member Xela (Alex Val). It's completely made in delrin and makes use of the Roo-Yo centering system (hence the collaboration with Roo-yo).Those who were at the B!ST contest last weekend were lucky enough to give it a try. As Ralfgun from Rollout told them, this prototype is quite heavy (the final version will be lighter) but, despite this, it plays very well. At the moment we don't have any spec. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4012222632790193289-2268659738512688016?l=yoyobits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>throttlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06816069735221662626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012222632790193289.post-23501213482481029732010-03-11T11:04:00.001+01:002010-03-11T11:04:11.914+01:00<p>With all the confusion that arose tonight about YYF and stuff, this news could pass unnoticed.
