Razer?

Hmm, I know some of you are edgy about the robot, though Im not sure why... *evades various objects*

Anyway, IF Razer was taken out of combat, then may I ask what is going on here? Its at Wigan and appears to be fighting. Did the team decide to put it back into the Arena?

Sorry if its in the wrong section, just thought Id but it here.

Razer now do mainly demos and so picking up damage from combat events aint really ideal if they have a demo the next day and their claw aint working

From a thread in the General Fan Chatter board. :)

Edit: And thats Razzler, not Razer, in the picture.

That isnt Razer - its the featherweight Venom - a little homage to its bigger cousin

Shows you how gullable I am, and just how great the replica is. I did think it was smaller than before, but then, with no people in the pic, I couldnt pick up on the scale. hahahah..

Well...to be fair to you, David, I think they do look rather the same, minus the wings on Razer. But then theres that big bot on the left... :)

Venoms got the wings too Kody :)

Thanks for the compliments guys. much appriciated. Yes Venom is a fully working replica of razer and has been competeing for years now. Although he doesnt fight much any more as he to has many shows to do each week ( some with Razer) which means i cant get him wrecked either. However i have a second machine on the way which is a replica of warhead, team razers new machine. Its been under construction for over a year now and am hopeing it will be ready to debut this summer.

Oooooh...it will have the lifting arms too I presume? :)

Yes it does, and if youve seen the heavyweight then this will be just as scary Ive seen it!

*gasp* :uhoh: Run for your lives! The :new: Warhead is coming! :uhoh:

Cant wait to make it take off :wink:

Will it also lift its tail? I found that to be the most usueless feature on warhead and it still looked cool. :)

Yup. Look at Venom and youll realise Itll be nothing less of an exact replica :)

Ive also seen the featherweight Warhead clone under construction. Very nice work, and impressively faithful to the original.

Thanks guys. Just trying to squeeze the hydraulics in at the moment. Yes it will be a complete working replica. tail, head and arm movements all in..... im trying...

Now lets hope you dont run into anything like Overkill then James. :rofl:

Does anyone have a better picture of venom?

You will be able to see it at the European Championships in july. http://www.robochallenge.co.ukwww.robochallenge.co.uk for details. Venom wont be in the main competition, but hopefully in a few white boards along the way.

james, will you be at the European Championships in july? if so what day and time? really want to meet venom . please get back to me

James is Hosting the European Champs as he owns Robo Challenge. He will be there with venom all day on both days. If your lucky, he might be bringing predator along too depending on how much he can get done on it:).

hows predator coming along now james? any updates ?

very slowly :sad:

now that the Euro champs is out of the way i should get some time to spend on it. hope to have it finished by winter if i work hard on it.

Awsome, mind sending me some pics of the Venom machine? Id love to see it myself, but I stuck all the way up in Manchester.

Speaking of which, I need to get on with my bot while Im doing nothing.. hahahaha!
