Tanto vs ewe 2 winter tour 2005, video i have lasts 7 minutes actual fight lasted just over 5 mins, that seems alot sooner than series 7

[beast]

must admit we struggle to last 3mins never mind 5 but just have to take it easy

ive had to buy some new batteries, not sure if they will arrive intime either. But i guessed it would be likley that fights would run 5mins, and so i got some new ones just incase. It is alot of money to spend, especially on a feather when you dont know if the top prize can cover what youve spent and got broken.

Crap this is approaching fast...

One week left and we dont even have wheels on the robot... Sounds just like robot wars to me !

[craig_anto]

[typhoon_driver]

How strict are people going to be on weight ? I am semi - confident that my robot will come under 12kgs but there is always doubt in my mind .

no wheels

I wish thats all new Merlin was missing! Just a frame at the moment, need to;

Cut & fix armour (all Hardox and Ti)
Mount valves and buffer
Plumb it up
Wire it up
Finish drive
Test
Paint
Plus all the other little bits you forget!

And not to forget Knightmare needs checking and other batteries fitting and, make Alpha a new batterypack and alter its scoop and lid.

Sounds like we are the only team anywhere near ready, just a bit of polishing on Turbulence and to put the chain on Secret Weapons weapon and a pit more paint and we are done. Might make some extra armour as we have weight Turb on two different sets of scales and it comes out 0.5Kg underweight.
