Hi Everyone,
The ACE team have just purchased S.M.I.D.S.Y from Gary Cairns. We need some young volunteers who want to get involved with robotics and want the opportunity to be part of a robot team.
There is no rush to get S.M.I.D.S.Y battle ready we want to take the opportunity to get others envolved and have some fun.
Please PM us if your interested
Dave Smith
Christ it's been years since I saw this! What was my 15 year old self thinking with that polycarb cutting?!
Glad to see it back though, hope you get it working in a better state than I did 4 or so years ago :)
It's currently strapped to a pallet waiting on the courier tomorrow.
Bit of a sorry state, but you got a good base to work with their, looking forward to a diary
I wouldn't advise relying on that polycarb top panel to keep the axes out; it may not end well!
This was the last time I used a polycarb top plate:

Even Splinter with a mild axe went through 10mm Polycarb. Took a little while.
Wow, glad to see a legend of Robot Wars is still going!
Thanks for all the replys and PM,s I will send out an email on Saturday for those interested in SMIDSY.
SMIDSY turned up nice and safe to his new home, thankyou Gary
Where have all the posts gone ?????
They are on page 1. This is page 2 (see the top and bottom of the thread replies).
Glad to hear that it arrived safe and well.
Few, blonde moment
What you like for amour?
Im a welder / fabricator by trade i can help out with mild / stainless steel, hardox, aluminium etc..
SMIDSY - for all those who replied last week the first meet up will be Saturday 4th Feb, please can you PM me your email addresses so I can send you location and times.
shame im nowhere near Bristol, id love to be involved with this! Remember Smidsy from back in the day... stood for "sorry mate i didnt see you" *nods*
Time to start work on SMIDSY, hopefully getting the orginal spinner for the rear, but what for the front main weapon ?
you always keep to the original weapons like the nashing jaws (like the ones from series 3-6) or a lifting scoop (like in series 7). Or even have the original smidsy weapons lifting jaw & nashing jaws as interchangeable for centain fights. that's one idea but it's up to you.
Sorry about the delay, if anyone wants to meet up and start on SMIDSY Iam starting this Saturday

A big thankyou to George and Japser for spending there free time helping out on SMIDSY, two great future engineers. SMIDSY is coming back together slowly, a few more front wedge designs to get built over the next few weeks before Manchester.
