Feather Weights

I have wheelchair motors. there a bit poo tho. 24v 150w and very bulky. i need an alternative but not too expensive drive solution. mid next year i should have somthing sorted.

I dont care if mine is a motor-driven scrapheap, just a bit of fun!

Im off to put an led in that old plastic box robot (I named him I.R.) then ill start taking Anxious appart to give it a charging port.

Does I.R. stand for anything?

Tom, is ur favourite mascot from the Haven holliday parks, Anxious the elephant?

I.R doesnt stand for anything. its just useless now and the most useless thing i could think of at the time was I.R. baboon so... Nope Anxious was originally named after a race car i like. all my robots i have built and going to build will be named after race cars that i like. appart from ones like I.R and bubbles because they have been other peoples robots. I wouldnt like to change the name of any robot i buy because i think whatever name its given it should stick with. Only reason i named the plastic box I.R. is because i didnt know what it was called.
Savage
Hooligan
Anxious
Paranoia
The Cunning plan (Coming Soon)
they are all names Drag Race cars.

Anxious the elephant?


-2>Meh?

There was a FW in Robot Wars Series 1 who was the FW champion called Cunning Plan.

Grrrr. hate when that happens.
Btw bit of a change of subject here and has nothing to do with FW but Was the team supernova HW robot Flick finished? what was it like?

David told me it would be like Ziggy, if it is then, WOW! (Ziggy is one nasty robot!)
Sorry about the name, juat incase you got heckled.

i was thinking that, i have a strange love for 4 bars and Ziggy is my fave robot. know if theres any pics of it or anything?

Nope! :rofl:

From the RL Reading event

I want it. I need it.

That thing look MEAN.

very mean. just about finished my work on I.R. now. Then i can give it a test drive before it dies.

Theres 2 before pictures aswell.(Thanks to Tony for one of the old photos, hope you dont mind me using it)

Looks good, good work!

wheres the weapon ?

Weapon? whats one of them? none of my current active robots have real weapons. There all rambots. I.R. has to die at chester. its only built for fun. If its not dead by the end of the fw rounds do u think they will let me in a HW Whiteboard with it?

If they do, get a video! XD

im sure somebody will get a vid. i might not be able to ill be taking 4 fw robots there so ill be busy alot of the time. mainly sticking I.R. back together with tape after if falls to bits.

I got that video Matt. well i got one where it was in the Final Heavyweight WB melee and then a after event fight with Tiberius. ill put link here for the Tiberius vs I.R. Fight but the rest of the vids will be in event discussion in the Robots live chester thread.

To your credit the lights remained on even after the rest was imploded :)

Slightly off topic perhaps but Tiberius is looking really good for some reason, cant remember if it had that self righter before or not...

I lold at that match XD

hehe, well, thats one easy way to rid of any unwanted robot! XD

Well it was fun. Thats the most important thing.

True

awww no one likes hornet :sad:

Huh? Why?

in everyones lists so far no one mentioned it :sad:

Is Hornet a blue double wedge with plasic roll-bars?

Oh, and Tom, im making a replica of Hooligan, is there any chance i can have the logo on the top plate? (Then the replicas finished)

hornet is a spinner vertical disc in the middle and most other stuff to the side works both ways up

Ok, are there any pictures?

one the first spin up destruction tests I ever did with hornet. Lol back when the body was mostly HDPE and it had 2 teeth. More destructive now than then

Sadly I have only been able to take it out at Robo challenge events up til now
