Hello Roboteers! I was a huge, huge fan of the RobotWars series back in the 2000's, me and my sister used to dash home from swim club with a bag of chips under our arm, put on our furry Diotoir hats (made from genuine Diotoir scraps, i think my sisters even had a burn on it!) and watch it religiously right up until the day it sadly ended. Or so i thought, as i stumbled across Battlebots 2015 which led me on a trail to Mr Kane Astons youtube channel (Of Behemoth fame?) of Colchester 2015 and finally here, only to find the RobotWars community alive and well! I'd always dreamt of making a competitive fighting robot as a child, now I'm bigger and uglier (with less hair) i wish to forfil that dream and have a good laugh doing it! I dont have the experience, skills of the knowledge to build anything to the same standard as the robots at Colchester, but ive got the dream and ive got the foolhardy spirit to build something fun and interesting that shall hopefully bring entertainment to the roboteering crowds. Bash or be Bashed i say!

Will post pics and vids of my first build as and when it happens over crimbo, as my job is seasonal so ive got a 3 month holiday!

Thanks for inviting me into the community and i hope to see you in and out the arena

Al
