well mr swan, that is in its fully open position... jaw point to point is 500mm

Actually, I can tell how big it is because in the pic there seems to be a small cart, right in upper right corner. Compared to that the claw is huge. :)

House Bot Cam - Already Sorted :lame:
(Of course its sorted - its my department of course, everythings always sorted :rofl:)
Jonno going to be driving it at Colchester before he dares gives me the controls of the House Bot again - dont think id be able to control myself when Beast and Beauty is in the arena :talker:
More media on the house bot to come soon when hmmm something else happens...
Mr Stu
does this mean you will be taking a third van to events?
it will be going in my car as its my bot :)
no, we have already upgraded to use two trucks for 2008 ready for the house bot which has already been with us at both events, plus theres some more stuff we plan to add it our Kit.
click my profile to see the claw fitted... :)
i think youll agree its a bit scarey.... poor feather weights !! :)
john
you nasty but very clever man! you better not damage any of my robots
nah not yours, but theres a nice block of wood id like to try !!! ha ha evil grin !
if you do that ill ask my mum to have a go at you!!!!!!!!
Looking good the photo on ur profile! Cant wait to see the hammer. Oh and will it have a Scary Face like Mr Psycho as well?:uhoh:
Oh and Jonno
If U R going to have another house robot to go alongside Gripper, U could maybe do a House Robot Rebellion sometime!:rofl:
lol. i wouldnt like to take on major damage. i like my robot as it is not flat packed :)
Shane, Remember how Firestorm toppled Mr Psycho in the Commonwealth Carnage in Robot Wars Extreme 2? Envy might have a chance of beating Major Damage as They R both similar machines!
envy is better :P
will be fun fighting the new major damage when its all built - we will get it over :P
whos in charge of getting it back on its tracks then :P
A very basic question has just sprung to mind, purely as a result of my curiosity after seeing the Gripper thread started:
Whats the name of the RR mutt, if it has a name that is? The mini Growler-esque dog that was used a lot a year or so ago as a featherweight housebot?
If its nameless, can we have a name competition for that too? :)
Actually, I havent seen any of the new house robots at all. :P
Hiya Guys,
Lets lighten the mood !!!
Ok so the pic on my profile will most likely be the last sneak preview of the new RR house robot.
All being well will be launched at colchester.
I cant really remember what our Mutt was called, he is sitting along with the old Gripper not doing anything for now. Maybe they will come out again one day. it used to be used as our feather weight house robot and was a lot of fun picking them up and dropping them in the pit.
Hope you like the progress so far.

oh, your very welcome to have a name the house robot competition... you can do both if you like.
John
Looking good Jonno
Lol, in that profile pic the head (Im assuming it the head anyway :P) looks like it belongs on a Power Rangers costume.
Can this house robot morph and fight Rita Repulsa? :)
Sure does! Wonder what weight the claw will lift?
ok, little update after a busy weekend on my little project.
Time is ticking, and less than two weeks to completion.
Both arms are now finished apart from a little strenthening of a couple of bits.
The hammer has been tried and tested, and the body work has been started.
Hydraulics are in place, and the drive system has been upgraded slightly.
All looking good !! :) Its a monster !!
i have been fortunate to see the monster, and it really is a monster. will need its own trailer i think. Mr Physco..... pah
lol yeah and me :) bit big i think we can flip it :)
well Major Damage it took its first drive last night, fired the hammer for the first time and ive now got a chunk of concrete missing from my floor :rofl: ... nearly done. Blimey its big !! :)
Should be finished by tonight all being well apart from a few little tweaks left for tomorrow.
Ready for Colchester !
JOhn
yes it does look big. you could compare it to killalot and physco but its not. its prob a bit of both and WE have done a good job. :) just shame i will miss the debut at colchester.
i no ye
as the driver of major damage i am really upset i cant attend
your all soooo damn funny !! :)
