Oh well, if as yet unbuilt feathers count:
Wreck-Or-Deck. 14.4v drills for (two wheel) drive, a cheap 24v drill as a weapon motor, to be used with the supplied batteries initially. Electronize 30A speedos. Basically a lateral spinner that looks like record player. Real recordsll be used clamped onto the disc/ bar to get that nice retro look. Woodgrain fablon finish, possibly a self-righting tonearm, if weight allows. I have all the bits listed above. Now all I need to do is build it...

[Mouldy]

Geof, Theres a pic of Scorpion jrs dinner in my profile...Its not finished yet though, so hell have to go hungry for abit :sad:

That looks OK Dave, compact isnt it. I have just one small issue..What is suporting that spinning bar?
Please dont tell me its only hanging on a motor shaft!

[andreww]

Whoa that is sooo weird. That body looks like a metal toolbox i made in year 8-9 metalwork at school.

that motor looks similar to my robot scraps new weopon motor. Its from a car and its a radiator fan motor. I also when gettuing the motor i have now found a ev warrior with a round mounting plate to it. So using that in a lightweight i hope. (we are getting into them out here).

The only thing is that one competitor out here has a rbot called sorry and used a spinning bar. He has damaged or fried each weopon motor at each event because of the sudden jerks and stops involved. Which is also why he has gone to a saw blade (like mine). So unless u are going to deliver one big hit which is enough to damage them heaps, expect to buy spare motors.

[Mouldy]

Well, Its just an every day fan motor really. Exsept it hasnt really got a normall output shaft. Its just a plate of ali that spins...and the fan was bolted on via 3 bolts so ive just taken the fan of and put the bar on.

I think I may build a proper vershion after deb using an Ev warrior that im getting soon.

Andrew- Im not woried about buying new motors...The robots only a prototype / toy and will probably only live for 2 fights MAX
