i dont spend my cash on much else other than my reptiles so why not

[ewan]

How many of these are finished? Pictures?

[mattsdragons]

one is finished, one is near compleat and the other two are just designs right now

[RogueTwoRobots]

If it's gonna cost £800-£900 for the polycarb, and it's us roboteers that are going to be using it, I think a whip-round could be in order. Everyone who plans on fighting with beetles in a beetle arena chuck in £20-£30 or so towards the cost of polycarb and we can get some battles going

[Leonardomayo]

Quick question: I bought some of these.(Click here) What sort of batteries should I be thinking about for them? The robot shall be having a servo powered lifter as a weapon.

And if I got something roughly looking like a beetleweight going, I would be more than happy to give some cash for the Polycarb.

[jonny]

Matt, beetleweights must have an active weapon so not a ram bot. A rambot wouldn't be effective anyway in the current arena.

[mattsdragons]

ah ok, it seems a very spinner dominated catagory though

[jonny]

that's because spinner is the mot effective weapon for use in the current arena

[mattsdragons]

They do the most damage I guess

[PJ-27]

Yes, but mostly because there is no arena to full out of, so you can just pin-ball around inside a polycarb box. Plus the scale factor is immense!
