    ah yes i saw this get suggested to be me on you-tube, only thing to be aware about is that parts of this robot could be rather out of data, also looking at it some of construction it could bend badly, i would highly suggest you look though build logs here and on Facebook

    Lots I predict there were 10 regular attendees, then half a dozen ones that ocasionally turned up plus definately 2 or 3 new ones for this year from other known builders which we have seen metalwork cut for. So lots of robots a thwackbot would be good as we need non spinner middleweight robots for robots live if we want our own fights!!

    They most certainly do exist. It can be hard to get our own fights at events simply because of the lack of numbers but hey, it'll happen. :P

    Update:

    The design is now about 99% done. I've had to ditch the idea to use a hardox pipe as the body, and came up with a more aesthetically pleasing (but probably less durable) "rollcage" design.

    The blue parts are going to be 3D-printed out of flexible filament, the gaps between the bars are about 18mm so unless someone brings a robot armed with a highly accurate sharpened screwdriver or somenting like that, i'm not too worried about it.


    Before buying the expensive materials for the chassis, i'm going to make a mockup using mostly 3d-printed parts, and am currently in the process of printing the parts i need. (veeeery sloooowly...)
    It may take a while.


    Also, i'm torn between two potential names for the robot: Rollcage and Somersault. Any thoughts?
