We have finally got round to starting our new robot- Whirlwind.

I have had most of the parts since January but other things have got in the way of building it.

The basic layout which I am going for can be seen here http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... d%20build/

So here are the stats,

Weight: hopefully less than 13.6kg
Weapon: Full Pressure flipper with a 60mm bore 80mm stroke ram, 1/2 valve and 2 buffer tanks.
Armour: 5mm HDPE on a steel frame with 10mm HDPE base.
Drive: Either 2x MFA motors or 2x Drills
Speedo: Scorpion XL
Batteries: 24v Ni-Mh
Radio: DX6 with BR6000.

We are hoping to get it done by Reading and I'll get some more pics uploaded as work continues.
