Its an axebot youre building Dan isnt it? Well be there with two robots; one has already been paired up for the tag team but the other (Snakebite, a vertical crusher) hasnt been paired up with anyone yet - let me know if you want to have it as a partner to yours. Snakebite is a new machine and this event will only be my second full combat event so dont worry about being new and inexperienced, Im not far off that either

Not any build pics at the moment as its not yet built :P (have made a prototype with a 5mm polycarb claw thats been able to crush a few easy objects, until the 3mm mdf base started to flex)

Once I begin getting the proper version built (hopefully within the next couple of weeks) Ill take some pictures then and post them; for now theres a CAD picture on my profile - just imagine that with some covers over the wheels/internals and the two claw tips brought together as one (a bit like Razer).

Nothing fancy in the specs; drills, nicads, Electronizes (maybe upgrade to a dual speedo if I can afford it) and a hunking great big linear actuator in the middle of it

Actually, to give you a better idea, heres a couple of shots of the prototype:

thats the new prodigy evolution, its going to be an invertible spinner with a 3kg disc. will be on show at think tank

Do we need to be a member of anything other than the FRA to enter?
We also need to test Levelers(Heavyweight)flipper. Would it be possable for us to test it safely in the arena afterwards.
