Hi everyone,

I have some old featherweight internals left over from my old robot, and plan to put them to use in a backup bot in case my new spinner lets me down. I've had this idea in the back of my mind for about a year now, and I think it would be a wonderful treat for audiences, especially long-time fans of Robot Wars.

In tribute to the show's beginnings, I want to build a FW replica of Roadblock.

One thing I feel obliged to do before I start, however, is obtain permission to use the bot's image from the original owners. I believe I have found Chris Kinsey on Facebook, but haven't had any luck with a reply. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way of contacting Hender Blewett, because I can't seem to find him. Or am I reading too much into this, given the whole venture is non-profit?

I'd much appreciate any help or advice. Thanks!
