Oooh! Very shiny.

But, sadly, not quite what I am looking for as an entry point.

I'm much more interested in the driveline and control hardware than the weapon at this stage.

As I understand it, rambots are quite viable at featherweight (I could be mistaken) so weaponry is a later problem.
Possibly a much later problem that can weight until I start the full heavyweight build.

I'm thinking of something cheap and cheerful that I can mess around with. I want to mess around with combat robots damnit! It'll be back to the drawing board after the first few fights anyway so I may as well shortcut the process slightly by starting with someone else's £300 B&Q special.

...but there is nothing stopping me knocking up a £300 B&Q special myself and people are doing a reasonable job of convincing me that is the way forward.
