ok i dont think i was going for the heavy ctagory so whats the next one down, but still i have built a go kart out of wood powered by 2 drill motors and that would just about pull me long when i was nine.

Below Heavyweight we got; Middleweight 50kg, Featherweight 12kg, Raptorweight 6kg, Hobbyweight/Kilobot ~1 Kg and many more under the 1kg line. Correct me if I'm wrong at any of these weightclasses.

We always used to have Lightweight as well, which was between Middleweight and Featherweight. Hardly any were ever build though, so I am not sure "Lightweight" is still a category.

in that case il be going for a midle weight (50KG ) i have given up with the idea of 4 drill motors and gone with two electric scooters with the trimpos wired up to the servos

.

im going to weld them together about half a meter apart and atach castors to the front for the main body of he bot.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that anyone competes with 50kg robots.

Perhaps a featherweight? the weight has gone up from 12kg to 13.6 I believe, and there's plenty of opportunity to compete.

Of course there's nothing to stop you from fighting a 50kg robot in the heavyweight class. I believe that Craig Danby's Tanto is well below 100kg.

Edit: just checked http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/documen ... drules.pdf and heavyweights are 55kg to 100kg.

John Frizell competes with the Steel Sandwich for years and years in the heavyweight division with his middleweight.
