started on the sides of psycho ram yesterday, what a disaster! didnt fit very fustrating but today a much better day top and sides attached to base and each other and ive thought of a new side design.

bad thing though was i was building in the rain, ducking and diving from my shed to house :sad:

hopefully should have more pics tomorrow and it should be ready for space centre....i hope

If you put it low down, the metal ram bit will combine quite effectively with the vertical front part of Psycho Ram. For example, the metal wedge will lift the other robots off the ground and the vertical front bit will stop them from going straight over the top of you - that way youll be free to push them around

Just made a video of my featherweight hoovas first experience. Hoova was origanly built for my gf but I ended up taking it to guildford to be trashed. However no matter how many times it flew, its rubbish plastic armour would not break. I was expecting to be rebuilding it out of polycarb right about now but its still good enough to take to more events.

Long live hoova!

Drive- 2x 9.6v drills running 100mm wheels
Battries- 12v Ni-Mh pack

It is made from parts from old machines and was built in a day but no matter how hard I try I just cant break it.
