Nitron : Featherweight Build Diary

Been a long time, the last time I built a robot for myself was 2018 with Cobalt my featherweight crusher to compete at the KOB event at the NEC, inbetween helping being a house roboteer on the reboot and Part of Team Cobalt for Battlebots.

This Christmas and New year I've had some time off running my Engineering Company ending up watching Mech+, Robot Wars Seasons and its got me wanting to build another, I've decided I'm going to use this Featherweight to get back into robot building, then to build a Heavyweight

For me using this forum and even before using the "original forum" (robotwars.tv/forum if I remember correctly) was a great place to talk about a subject I was obsessed with.

A while ago I attended RoboJojo with my Crusher, I really enjoyed the relaxed nature of the battles and not being so serious with what the "TV shows" have become, promoting a sportsman's class is a great idea and this build will be made to go to live events and sportsman events.
