Description Here is my submission for the Original Character Challenge: Radical Racers!

---------

Bionic Universal Navigator Model 3 (AKA BUN-3 ((AKA "BUNNY"))) is an android build, maintained, and sponsored by Xeron Motors, the leaders in sphere based transportation. She is the third of her model line to participate in various racing events, with the most prestigious being the Mitron Annual. Her original design was based off the work of Karl Hardwick who also had a hand in creating this particular model after the first two came in dead last in their first race and spontaneously exploded, respectively. Since her creation and use, she has won or qualified for a myriad of races, bringing Xeron Motors much success. But now with the Mitron Annual coming up, where any vehicle goes and the rules are few, she'll have to use all of her programming (and a bit of inspiration from her creator's mix-tape) to cross that finish line in first place!

BUN-3 wasn't always such a success on the racing circuit though. Back when she first began racing as Xeron Motor's newest pilot, she consistently lagged behind the leading pack, barely making fifth or sixth place. She was rapidly on her way to be replaced by a newer updated model when her designer, Karl Harwick, made an unauthorized modification to her chassis, installing a vintage Cassette Player besides her central processor. The modification, once discovered, was frowned upon by the Xeron Board of Directors but without a stand-in to replace BUN-3, they decided to let her race with the modification in place. What happened next shocked nearly everyone present (except for Karl); BUN-3 and the Orbus 6 finished the race a whole thirty seconds before any of the other racers, music playing over her internal systems. Impressed with this sudden change in performance, Karl was made BUN-3's head engineer and the little droid's career took off, where she earned first place in her next three races. Hopefully the winning streak will pay off as she moves into the big leagues. Her, The Orbus 7, and Karl's Mixtape...

Her vehicle of (non-existent choice) is the Orbus Mark 7 designed and built by Xeron Motors. The Orbus line of vehicles is Xeron's preferred racer, having seen a lot of success when paired with a competent navigator. The previous renditions of this craft have constantly improved on their successors, buffing up their components whenever a new challenge is presented, while still sticking stubbornly to Xeron's SphereTech. Completely armor plated with lightweight poly-alloys, a self-righting gyroscopic cockpit, and a hard-wired neural interface, this spherical transport is durable, study, and unstoppable in the hands of BUN-3 (for the most part).

Specifically designed for the upcoming Mitron Annual and their small but strict list of rules regarding weaponry and equipment, the Orbus 7 is equipped with a hexad of high powered pressurized pneumatic pistons hidden under its protective armoring. Capable of extending at high speed, the force is enough to send the Orbus 7 flying into the air or knock away opposing racers. Each piston is equipped with a heavy metal plate that doubles as the surface of the Orbus 7's main body.

I had a lot of fun with this challenge and it was a genuine pleasure to participate!
