HAHAHA, new 'kilobot' is currently weighing in at about 3kg!!

May just go the whole hog and use it as a battlerat now

Got some good ideas from it though and got the linkage sorted for those GiantCod jumbo servos.

I'll do some tomorrow, just started off as a bit of an idea so i slapped some polycarb together. Build quality was not a consideration as it's just a rough mock up for now. It ended up looking like it does because Luke said 'have you seen 180?....................after watching RW extreme on Monday we should put a scoop on the front and make it look like Behemoth!!'.

Thus we have a scoop on it.

Second generation will be half the size but I'll post some pics.

Is it possible to get a pic of 180, when your holding it in hand or something? Just cant imagine the scale/how big it is!

Not as far as I am aware Craig. It might be a while before this weight class has its own event and I don't think the arena's ready yet but I'm sure a few are likely to be about at the featherweight champs and there could be some informal fights taking place (assuming any weapons don't pose a danger ie. no spinning weapons) so I'm sure if you had one built for then, and you're attending, then it could see some action. Some spinner fights could even be possible in the Robo Challenge arena during a free time slot providing James and Grant are asked and give their permission beforehand.

Out of interest, what is your design? A mini Saint?
