Lego Robot Wars - fully RC plastic mayhem!

[legorobotwars]

I've watched Series 4 A through D now, and I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality. Are all the parts used on the robots pure from Lego or are there some custom parts involved?

No custom parts whatsoever! I wanted the veiwer to know they can do the same without extra hassle. All electronics are official Lego Power Function parts, from transmitters to actuators. Though I did toy with the idea of having paper/cardboard shells/armour...

I remember Lego Robot Wars, it inspired me to make a series of my own years back, it was called Roblock Wars, sadly it was short lived but it did give me a taste of robot building.

It had two series which was only two videos, but it was one of my most popular videos on my old channel (back before I started to focus on animations full time). sadly that channel is gone now.

I had made a ton of lego bots but only 7 made it to the 'official' Roblock Wars series:
series 1:
killer
techno fork
run
hit
series 2:
killer
techno bot (techno fork 2)
junk
hit (2)

fun fact my ant weights Alpha-wolf and Killer-wolf's design is based on what would have been Killer 2 so you could say it has come full circle.

Although if I remember correctly there was talk of a Roblock wars vs. Lego robot wars but that fell through.
