Im not really authorised to boast about it just yet. If you read my full story on the website you can see that I never got it running fully. During the test runs (at 12V with very low Amps) I managed to snap the axe weapon lever arm. (the gears were all ok thouhgh).

Long story short the failure was a result of my inexperience(I designed the robot being just a high school kid at age 17). I have now a couple of years at University in my baggage and a lot more practical experience as well. I have designed a new axe launch mechanism to be built from very sturdy truck chains. But its not really my current project, being so young and after spending thousands of hours at something seeing it break fatally its easy to be discouraged. So I put it on the shelf and designed an entire new robot instead. You will see more of it in year or so. The axe robot will be finished as well some day, but finding resources (workshop, skilled people, sponsors etc) and time!!! is as you all know kind of tricky.

Im glad you found to my website though.
