Feather Weights

Well, since thier isnt many Feather Weight robot threads, i thought that id make one!
So, who are your favourite feathers?
Mine have to be:
Skink
Hunter :wink:
IT
Beauty 2
Little Spinner 2
Pug
Rip
Venom
Mini Mighty Mouse
Stiff Breeze
(Any featherweight replicas of Heavy weights!)

Im not that big on featherweights, but I like Hannibalito 3 and Venom quite much. :)

To be honest, i love the feathers and heavys, but i think that the feathers are maybe a bit more, how do i put it, fun?
Really, with every featherweight fight, you can have your own mini rumble.
Its the exact equall to the end fights at the end of an RR event.
I just like them, but i also love the heavys.

The heavys are alot more crash and bash, just what we like, but the feathers can be fun to watch in my opinion.
I also like them because theyre much more easier to make than the heavys.
We cant make any heavys, because we have a very small workspace/storage space and the money.
We keep our bots down the garage, and we work down there aswell.
I would love to have a heavyweight, or atleast drive one! (Espessially Turbulance/Appocalypse, love that robot, drools)

Precisely, I like featherweights because I should be able to do most of the construction on my bedroom windowsill :proud:

Money though...not speaking from experience here (as always :P) but it seems that if youre particularly resourceful and have the right sort of stuff lying around you can build heavyweights for next to nothing, get old broken wheelchairs from dealers and adapt the motors/batteries/controller for your use, its how a lot of series 1/2 robots did it anyway and allegedly some of them cost next to nothing.

But I digress, favourite feather at the moment would probably be Crumple Zone, that thing looks...scary, among other things...awesome but scary.

Probly little flipper and little hitter cause there too dam reliable lol

whos crumple zone?

My favourite featherweight would have to be Team Mads Omega. Love the rugged off-road look to it and to me it just oozes coolness. Plus Alexs crsuher above is looking quite formidable

Yikes, Crumple Zone looks terrifying, hope to see it at an event soon!
Its not the money, its the space, and taking it to events, as our car has a small boot...
I was thinking along the lines of something like Tanto, small but powerfull, but no...
I like feathers anyway, if i wanted, i could make a feather in my bedroom, it wouldnt even show, my room looks like a roboteers worst nightmare workspace!

thanks for all the great comments on crumple zone itll be making its debut at nottingham might only put it in white boards so i can keep to grips with it

had a quick drive today first time very responsive and quick :):):)
