razer, storm 2, panic attack, DTK, ripper, pussycat and behmoth from robot wars have all been made into FW versions
a FW nightmare probably would be amazing due to the amount of flippers we have it would be easily over turned
There have been quite a few as far as I can recall, most of which have probably been retired (with exception of the newer creations)
A few that spring to mind are:
Pussycat > Kitty
Typhoon 2 > Typhoon Cadet
Dantomkia > DTK
Kronic > Weed
Ripper Evo > Rip Evo
Terrorhurtz > Mini Hurtz
Warhead > Predator (someday :lol: )
Not too hot on other Battlebots robots though so not sure what's been made there. Haven't seen a FW Nightmare before but I know there have been incarnations in the small weight classes over in America.
I also remember seeing an old pic of a UK featherweight that was similar in design to Nightmare but that was several years ago and I can't recall its name.
One FW replica that hasn't been done (but that I would love to see) is Big Nipper; even the name of Little Nipper is well suited to it and would slot in nicely with their other featherweights. But I imagine it would be fair challenge getting the necessary weapon mechanisms and 8-wheel drive into the weight limit and have it all working to the same degree of effectiveness as the heavyweight.
yeh i like it cus of that! :rofl: but its a great design
one that seems SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO obvious yet no one has made is a FW chaos 2!
Yeah, although doing it justice would be difficult.
You'd have to have two pneumatic rams to stay true to the heavy, but they would be a lot less powerful than one centrally-mounted big(ish) one similar to what a lot of featherweights now use. As a result, you'd have a Chaos 2 replica that would be expected to be the best in its class (like its daddy) yet would be upstaged by several other flippers.
But it would be cool nonetheless 8)
I do think that you can't stay completely true to the HW originals
Look at tiny hurtz, it doesn't have 6 buffer thanks or ridiculously small wheels on the outside
oi jamie you missed the best mini fw of that list :P
Tom armitage made a miniture version of the battlebot toro
has anyone made nightmare or have u got any scematics for it?
probably not the best idea for a second robot mate.
not my second?
A FW 13 black would be lethal, yet would need a srimeck
or third or forth, proberbly. too expensive, not to mention dangerous.
Well it was mentioned in the first post so I didn't see much point in mentioning it again. But if you insist....Quote:

Better? 8)
not really, best to have 1 heavier more powerful disk than 2 weak onesQuote:

Click on a version to get more info; versions 1, 3, 4 and 5 all have a 'Construction' tab on their page that you can click on to see build pictures and so on. It should be straightforward enough to scale a robot up/down from all the details on there.
Is there really anything left thy could be made into a FW?
Tonnes.
Roadblock, Diotior, Killertron, Cassius, Gemini, Bigger Brother, Firestorm...
The list can go on, as that's just a few big names that came to my head in a few seconds. There are no doubt some less well-known robots that could make effective featherweights, but it all depends if the person building it finds them interesting (or 'famous' enough) or not.
i would love a FW cassius, bigger brother or firestorm
some less famous bots would make good FW's but i just dont know which would
a FW gemini would be interesting, probably not that effactive but would be funny to watch :)
on another note, has there ever been a HW version of a sucessfull FW? (besides the HW explosion)
better jamie! lol...
No ones made an official knightmare copy due to the fact jim the guy who owns it in the US didnt want anyone copying it... Someone over here asked him once if they could do it and got a reply regarding lawyers etc...
Could always make something loosely based around it?
Something with a mix of St hammer and nightmare would be an interesting design
how do people make the FW versions of HW bots? do rhey just look at the designs and guess or acually contact the original builders?
anyone?
A lot of them are actually the teams themselves, are they not? DTK > Dantomkia, Kitty > Pussycat, etc
It's not too difficult. I don't know what other people do but for some of my half-finished attempts in the past I just got a note of the dimensions of the HW as well as a good few pictures and then just went with what looked right. A cardboard mock-up or two never goes astray and can be good to judge whether you've got the look pretty accurate.
Doesn't sound hard when you put it that way, I think something taking the best elements from a few bots could make somethig good, but that's not the idea of replicas :)
hopefully my next fw will be a replica of privite iron off of spaced :lol:
ihave a replica fqw bulldozer to my aw bullseye :)
i may do a replica bigger brother so I CALL THAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLA9ujNz8k8
thats my fw version of my bullseye
i dident really like bigger brother anyway if i were to do one i would do bulldog breed
acually, i might take that instead, I CALL BOTH IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for now anyway)
OMG I SAID IT U DOSH
or what would be better, mini gravity 3
ye

with good reason
i guess its who ever makes one first :)Quote:

Change Mayhem into a FW Mortis.
