I'm not having this one. Sorry DMac. The flipper is in the wrong place, so the robots always end up on the side of the robot, rather than in front. Anyway, I'm starting work on my heavyweight now, so it doesn't matter. Whoever buys it, try improving it a lot. Never been good with hardox, anyway. Polycarb only works for me.
Will be interesting to see where you put your flipper, on the sides??Quote:

george theres no right or wrong shape to a robot, every robot is different and all have their advantages and disadvantages
to say a robot is built wrong or something similar could come across as a bit insulting
I'm not saying it's built wrong, I'm only saying that it would be difficult to get underneath another robot. I'm sorry if I offended you, Dave. :)
You didnt offend me, George, I was just curious about the statement, the various versions of the 'Carrot' have shown that the configuration works, but everybody has their own ideas, if they didnt wouldnt the world be a boring place.
DaveMac.
I suppose. Mind you, I've got a couple of pics of it, should I post them up?
Ive put some pics up here.

Dave, do you know someone called David Abingdon? Because he's my Dad, and he knows someone called Dave Mac...
I know quite a few Dave's, if he's involved with the Robots, probably, or Classic Sports cars, I am not too good with second names .
DaveMac.
Nah can't be that Dave my Dad knows. Mostly to do with training people to be successful businessmen... :uhoh:
So, we will have to add the armour and add some pnumatic tubing?
Will we have to collect in person, if so, location?
I might be able to persuade my parents to buy me this bot, since its my bday soon, and i have been wanting a HW since...forever :P
BUT no promises, since theres a 99% chance that they will say no :(
Hi
Only needs a couple of bits of armour, pnumatic pipes, everything else is there, apart from a radio, even comes with a battery charger.
Location is Buxton in Derbyshire,
DaveMac.
How stupid i was to ask my parents, as like always, they said no :(
Hi Dave, I would like to buy this. Do you have any images of it in action? Kind regards, Don
Hi Sorry no images of it in action, probably some about on YouTube, search for Killer Carrot 3.
DaveMac
Are you open to negotiation on cost?
Sold to Tony.
DaveMac
Cool.
I am looking for a fighting robot to ad to a robot collection. It needn't function, even an empty, beat up carcass would do. Any ideas?
Post an ad in the wanted, there are several teams that will have old shells lying about.
DaveMac
Just plcked it up
not too much to do couple of pipes to get made and get it wired up.
See you at whitwick with it this weekend then tony????
no :(
no work on bots this week on holiday
