hello, if anyone watched the gadget show episode where Jason and Otis build a fighting robot then you'll know that
lots of people still fight robots across the country even though robot wars isn't going anymore.
i am currently building a heavyweight robot (100kg) which is the same size as the ones on robot wars. I have spent many hundreds of pounds on the beast already. at the moment i'm desperately trying to make more cash so that i can buy whats called a 'speed controller' which costs in the area of £300 as it has to handle so much current.
my robot's weapon is a flipper and i'm working on the pneumatics to make it work. currently having trouble finding a pneumatic cylinder of the right size but after i have one the pneumatic system won't be too hard to complete. the frame and armour are done and am hoping i can get it running soon so i can go and fight it!
if your a fan of robot wars i'd definitely recommend going to an event when its in your area and you might just see my robot
if any of you are interested i'll put up some pictures.
