Rebel Robots

Ooh, will be good to see Conundrum Mk2 there. It was one of only two UK drum robots (the other being Glen Dohertys Zero) that I knew existed at a time when I was looking around for ideas and pictures to use as guidance when designing Drumroll. Id welcome the chance to go drum-to-drum :)

Chris, if youve got any spare drill gearboxes kicking around, why not replace the plastic gears with some metal ones from the spares? I shredded some of the teeth in Drumroll after the FW champs in May and since I replaced them with metal ones Ive had no problems.

I agree with Jamie. Drop the plastic gears and go all metal.

I did that as soon as hornet was first built. Left me with two gearboxes with all metal gears and one with all plastic. The way I look at it, if a gearbox fails its generally the case that goes or the shaft not the metal gears.

I am REALLY looking forward to this event. Especially if I can implement all the upgrades I have planned for hornet! No messing around this time, I am taking part to win :)

I cant wait either now

got some more good news coming this week

Any more news

yea Im still waiting for confirmation from the host but he has agreed, its just getting the paperwork from him

aside from that Ive worked on the show format and format of the competition

Im going to use the Antweight style competition, Robots will fight in a double elimination competition style event,
to space out the final so that the surviving robots can be repaired there will be 3 melees for all the first round losers 2nd and 3rd round losers.

looking for 9 more robots to complete the draw and am looking into maybe running some heavyweights if theres time

All new combat rules that will go up on the site today, be prepared its very different to the other events

Will update as and when news comes

I dont know if its just me or not but http://www.rebel-robots.com/http://www.rebel-robots.com/ isnt working at the moment for some reason.

I cant get on it either:sad:

I can

not just you the server was down not long come back online

I couldnt get to my emails from them either, it seems to spend more time down than running, think its time to move to a new server

rules are online too

hmmm a very interesting format and one that will take a bit of getting used to.

The upside for me is that if I throw myself out the arena I get put back in....hoorah! :proud:
