If you came to some of the featherweigt/heavyweight events, you'd probably have seen Craig Collias' Pilgrim wandering around based on a Theo Jensen design. Thats an amazing robot.

saw a video of an awesome robot a while back, it was a huge clear plastic ball that you could control and make it roll around :D

Got everything soldered up this morning.
Here is a test video...

The robot weighs 130g at the moment,but this is not the final "bodywork".
The lego car weighs 290g,so I think I should be ok for 150g,or even 225g for walkers??

And thanks Peter,I recieved the offcuts this morning.Much appreciated. :)
Cheers James.

Besides Flippant and anticide that's probably the most powerful antweight flipper I've seen. Great work! :D
