Combat Robots yes this is my first time, and I'm filling in as much as possible.

About me:
I am a 15 year old Roboticist. I have been building robots since the age of 12 and am currently studying my GCSE's. As a Future career I have targeted my Learning towards Robotic Engineering. As a prerequisite to many careers in robotic engineering Welding knowledge shows up quite often. I have therefore decided the best way to gain welding knowledge is include the skill into another project of mine.

I have built many systems from Remote surveillance robots with Live video feed to 3d surround glasses to a Custom Liquid Cooled Computer with Automated Thermal Control including 17 thermocouple's to monitor system temperatures.

All projects require research and I can assure you I do my fair bit for each Project. Right now I am creating 3d Concepts for the Heavyweight robot and am researching into parts materials. Like most people I unfortunately don't have £1000 to spend on replacement motors therefore I aim to do things right the first time round so the second doesn't exist.

I am currently using this wonderful site as a "Kick-starter" for my research to point me in the direction I need to continue before I finalise any design plans.

And Thank you for the Welcome it is greatly appreciated.
