advertise that you are after one in the wanted section. If anyone has anything that they are looking to shift then they will get in contact with you.

I would advise that you start with a featherweight thought. A heavyweight weighs in at 100kg, and usually is around the 1m by 1m ish size range (no comments about how small tanto is Craig! ) Get yourself along to a live event and take a look at the robots that are currently on the live event circuit. Believe me you will learn a heck of a lot.
