Nice one Jonny, cheers

The one Eric uses seems to be free to move with the liquid as it is moved so not sure how a solid one would work. But saying that, I know nothing really about Hydraulics so I really should ask someone in the know.

Hopefully it comes to pass that they're ok though. What are you looking for for one of em?

**jonny** · 7th October 2011, 23:16

10 pounds each or 2 for a tenner plus postage

**PJ-27** · 7th October 2011, 23:30

50% bulk discount on 2 items?(!)

**Anttazz** · 8th October 2011, 12:28

I would say that 2 for a tenner is definitely better than 1 for a tenner

.

I really need to contact someone in the hydraulics know-how. I will do that today so I can get back to you ASAP

. If they give me the all clear, you're on

Very small update just because I haven't done one in a while.

Eric Jr and Cicatrix will hopefully be appearing at a local charity event on Saturday, along with 2 of the Combat Penguin Antweight kits.

Cicatrix:

Sources some bits for the drum pod but still on the hunt for a few things for it, hope to get it done before the next UK FW Champs, having a rambot is becoming a bit boring (even if I only have had 6 fights with it). Its running on an XL and XXL in each pod at the moment, pretty quick, pretty powerful but the electrics are stupidly complicated and strangely putting a spinner on will actually simplify it.

Eric Jr:

Hasn't ever really worked very well, one of the motors is LOUD and it really needs new wheels. Also the battery has died so will need a new one. Looking to build an outer HDPE coat for him too, which will allow me to keep the polycarbonate shell for education projects as it lets people see into the internal workings of the bot.

So basically, after saturday i'll be taking it all apart to replace/repair the various problems it has and also removing the LED's from the front.

Eric, Scar:

Haven't done a lot to them really, not had the time and won't have the ability to do anything until a few months time due to my ankle problem

Daiske II:

Leaving that to me team now, will have to wait and see what happens there.

Thats pretty much everything I think as far as the robots are concerned, I will leave you with an ebay purchase I was quite chuffed to come across:
