Ben Cambery (spelling) from team fluffy has built almost exclussively walkers and one of his bots (I cannot remenber its name) was built from a pot noodle can and just used servo horns to drive it for the first version but he said that after that it was banned from use as people basically said it wa...

What about having a remote kill on the whole robot. I had a look into it and the circuit that Ian Watts has in his heavyweight could be built using surface mount components entirely. The only ones I could not find in surface mount were the transistors, but perhaps one of you qualified electronic eng...

I believe that beating 50% in a 2 or 3 way cluster to kill it when they're both lighter and more vulnerable anyway is a bit bias, so the solution would be 100% defeat and its out (like Robot Wars ended up doing in the final few series). Dave I think you'll find your wrong there. Origionally Robot W...

Dave consider your self very lucky. The Old rule was once 50% is out its all out meaning one bot in a 2 part or 2 bots in a 3 part. It would be an unfair advantage to the cluster for you to have to eliminate every part (although this is the case in the 2 part one but this cannot be avoided). There a...

Its the same one i used at aws17, for everyone else. It was 90g before i added the central middle mount, so between 95 and 100g, not really weighed it with all the bits on. I think the motor is arround 10krpm, not to sure as there is no way to tell, unless some one has an osciscope and a microphone...

FYI Andrew a middleweight exists called Phoenix

All I can say is "Valve Valve Valve". THis is what i have been told many times by the legends that are woody and maddox. THink about it energy is 1/2mv^2. So mass is pritty much fixed (weight of the flipping arm) so the more velocity you get into it the more energy is imparted. You increas...

Pete a bit "going from birmingham to london via glasgow" but you could translate the sweedish to spanish in the above link and then use this to translate it to english:

Oliver that horrible, I would never charge someone for something i got for nothing. THese discs were cut from Hardox. I still have the two discs I received from Mr Waller which I have thanked him for on numerous occasions.

Weight: 75g
Size limits: 2.5inch, 3inch, 3.5inch all have been thrown around at some stage, me personally i dont seen the need for one other than like a 12inch cube basically to rule out anything too massive.

I cannot remenber what the "Official Ruleing" that was come up with.
