ok simple - i need to build a robot that can fight and destroy my friends robots, i was thinking about an axe or flipper robot but i dont know how these could be designed . any help is appreciated please email me at hwharley@hotmail.com
we conform to official robot wars rules except we cant have anything flammable or may explode
hey harley, welcome to the forum.
it may help us to give you advice if you can let us know what sort of stuff you have done in the past, and what your mates robots are like. Also, what weight are you building to?
we should be able to give you better help if we know more. :)
best of luck
ive done nothing in the past and at this time absolutley nothing is finalised or even started as this is coursework (sigh) we must doo all paper work first - weight restriction i havent thought about
best make the weight your first decision.
i reccomend the 12kg class, as everything is cheaper (well, in theory anyway)
100kg is a great weight class, but is 10 times the workload and is a transport nightmare without help.
Hey Harley come to a live event , make yourself know to one of us and check out the Bots
see the live events section
well although i said that we would conform - as we are only young people our argument will probably be com paring one that is the size of a rc car and the other the size of a real robot that has participated in robot wars - yours is twice the size of mine i aint doing this
if yours is a toy car, the robots youve seen on tv are 100 times the weight/size.
i dont plan to build an rc car i plan to build a full size one but i dont know about weight as we wont weight them anyway. mine could weigh 50kg and my friends 10 and we would still fight.
Best try to build something to for? http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/rules.htmFRA
systems and control
we plan to use robot wars rules

they are listed here
we havent told our teacher that flamthrowers are disallowed but it also depends if we meet his safety criteria.
any basic weapon ideas with ways to hook them up would be nice
