Hello, I'm Darren.
Been a huge fan of Robot Wars for years, but never really thought about looking in to making one, or finding out about the different weight classes etc until we saw the recent display at Truckfest. That, combined with my boys thinking it would be cool to make a robot, got me looking around and reading lots of the different forums / Facebook pages.

Since then, I've built a budget featherweight based on the roaming robots video, which was a bit fiddly at times, but fun.

I've also got a couple of antweight robots coming - one built and battle ready, and the other as a kit for me and my boys to build.

I fancy doing another featherweight too, building on and improving from my first.

I'm still very much a beginner with a lot to learn, but looking forward to finding out, most probably making mistakes, asking questions, getting robots built, and hopefully taking part in a few battles - and then rebuilding again
