If you dont want to or dont have the time/tools to do the design and manufacture of a featherweight then the zeobot will be a great way to get a working robot so you can start attending events and meeting people. Considering the robots Paul (who i think has designed it) has built in the past it should be a very competitive robot. However i think as soon as you fight with it and get the roboteering bug you will go and design and build one from scratch (its addictive this roboteering lark). Very few peoples first robots are competetive, most of the skills you need to build a truly great robot you will learn by talking to people at events and on this forum, the zeobot could be a good way to get good from the start.
In conclusion,
Zeobot - sounds good, a great way to get into roboteering, cant wait to fight against one
If you are anything like me, once you have been to your first event you will go home and spend the next 2 days doing sketches and designs for a robot that you can call your own and be really proud of.

Just wondering if there is anymore info on these things yet. Its amazing they have their own class in the upcoming FRA world champs, and weve not even seen one yet!
Lots of people are dying to see these Paul, any sneek peeks?
I spoke to him at Deb and atm hes having trouble getting some one to cheaply manufacture the chassi and armour...But its an interesting idea
