Its one of those things Ive been wanting to do since way back when Robot Wars started... I did actually start to make a robot heavyweight at that time but the expense of a heavyweight and lack of facilities to build the thing in the first place eventually forced me to pack the idea in. My interest was re-sparked when I happened upon a flyer for the recent Barnsley event which I went to and saw the featherweights and how much sheer fun they looked all flying about the arena.

My plan is (currently) to build something that works - not too fussed about how it looks just yet, that will come after I think - but the ultimate aim is to build a featherweight with flipper and axe. Quite how im going to pull that off is a mystery to me as yet so Im going one step at a time and seeing how I go

I shall be ordering my first parts this week too and cant wait to get stuck in.
