Hi Guys,

Wakey wakey.....
Its 245pm here on day 4 of 5...... thought id update progress.

Last night we had 4 working feather weight chassis finished and working... and of course they took them for a test drive.... and they ended up having a war.

Tension is building and the competition is fierce... they all are working hard to become singapore champions for 2008.

Today has been about weapons, they have learnt the theory about different weapon types.... pneumatics, hydraulics, etc....

We have 4 feather weights being constructed and each has a different weapon.

No1 - has two gripping arms which looks very similar to big nipper style.

No2 - has an electric lifter working the same way as envy.

No3 - has a lifter, or rather they keep telling me its going to be so fast it will flip. They also tell me they arent worried about their fellow students robots, they plan to seek and destroy Pain in the Asp. Yes Eugene who previously posted is their team captain !!!!
He is the singapore SWANNY... he has brought so much laughter to the course !!! Ive found you a friend mate

No4 has an arm fitted to the top which runs sideways, the concept to drive underneath and flick them off sideways.... like lightning used to have.

Who will win..... i dont know.... it could be any of the four to be honest !!!
We are using a big stairway as the arena.... we will be above it looking down.... and the pit of doom equvilent will be the stairs.... you loose and your going down a level.

they will compete in three challenegs.... Sprint, sumo and combat !!!
