Hi Dan

Naturally you may want to keep your design secret for now but I would cation you a walker that fits the 27.2Kg that can take the punishment of the arena, you will have to pull something awesome out of the roboteering hat! I don't want to stop you in fact I would encourage you to try!

Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself.

1/ How many standard (wheeled) featherweight robots have I made?
2/ How many fights have they had?
3/ How many years have I been running robots in the show environment?
4/ How much money and time do I have for the project?
5/ How much experience and contacts do I have in engineering and design?
6/ How many tools do I have or can use to make the parts for this project?

No one needs to know the answer to these questions, except you. you may not have much experience but be able to make the machine anyway, that's fine.

I don't want to put you off but I would not like you to start and not finish.

In the next few weeks and months and probably years, I will be making a walker too, I have 2 other walkers I use that are not fighting machines Pilgrim and Spiderbot. I am sure you can find them on Utube.

The reason there aren't hundreds of walkers on the robot scene is, they are hard!
the reason I want one is, they are a challenge I would like to do. But even if I manage it (and there is no guarantee) It probably won't win anything!
