Boxers

I saw these boxing robots at whit wick and thought I would like to build one but I can't build won that big so is there like a ant weight vesion of them

Now you might have something there, the boxing arms shouldn`t be difficult to make using servos.
If you build one it will encourage others to as well, its something I`d like to have a go at.

I can try but I hope I can do well with it at a event

I was just thinking a featherweight boxer category would be good fun- it would allow you to use powerful pneumatics bit still be quite cheap. But maybe a lighter category would work as well? Maybe a beetleweight category so they can be a bit more powerful but servos/cheap electronics would be effective :?
I would love to build a boxer :D

so lets decide on some rules and a category and build some :)

would make a great change from building the usual combat robots

I would say you want a weight of around 6kg, so you can use pneumatics or electrical systems and obviously the weapon has to be boxing arms :proud:

There should be some rule on how the arms has to move, rather than just moving horizontally straight in and out in a not very boxing style way if you understand what I mean :?

what do you people say to a cam base punching mechanism, ya know like the crazy arse wiggling house robot on s7 or robot wars

I reckon as long as its life like ish I reckon people should use their imagination. It really ought to be about knocking bits off, damage and knock outs.

like what life like
:rofl: can anyone shoot fire from their butt

I have a radio controlled car now and will make a boxer it will box by ramming the opponents I will post a pic when I'm done :mrgreen:

Made from mc donalds sticks and sauce pots for boxing gloves :proud:
