Its an axebot youre building Dan isnt it? Well be there with two robots; one has already been paired up for the tag team but the other (Snakebite, a vertical crusher) hasnt been paired up with anyone yet - let me know if you want to have it as a partner to yours. Snakebite is a new machine and this event will only be my second full combat event so dont worry about being new and inexperienced, Im not far off that either :)
Yeah its an axe bot(bit like a featherweight version of terrorhurtz-just not as good!hehe):)
Snakebite sounds cool,i will happily partner with it!Any pics?
Not any build pics at the moment as its not yet built :P (have made a prototype with a 5mm polycarb claw thats been able to crush a few easy objects, until the 3mm mdf base started to flex)
Once I begin getting the proper version built (hopefully within the next couple of weeks) Ill take some pictures then and post them; for now theres a CAD picture on my profile - just imagine that with some covers over the wheels/internals and the two claw tips brought together as one (a bit like Razer).
Nothing fancy in the specs; drills, nicads, Electronizes (maybe upgrade to a dual speedo if I can afford it) and a hunking great big linear actuator in the middle of it :)
Actually, to give you a better idea, heres a couple of shots of the prototype:

It looks very good.Robo challenge is going to be a very good event and im looking forward to team with you Jamie.Axe and Claw-i wouldnt want to be a push bot against that kind of pairing!:proud:
no worries, and how about i send the old prodigy in with one hand behind my back:wink:
:)
Whats that bot on your profile adian-looks very good!
thats the new prodigy evolution, its going to be an invertible spinner with a 3kg disc. will be on show at think tank
Do we need to be a member of anything other than the FRA to enter?
We also need to test Levelers(Heavyweight)flipper. Would it be possable for us to test it safely in the arena afterwards.
