Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots

after reading peoples thoughts on active weapons and hearing what a few other people are going to do although i wasnt going to bother originally having one im now going to put some sort of lifter on mine and ill be remaking that heavy outside steel frame out of hdpe or some other materal.
perhaps a bit of a different shape- not sure yet but will be simple to do as everything on mine is just mounted to the base and any shell i make would just bolt on with 4 m5 bolts

Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots

I was looking at that arena a few weeks ago for door ideas. Gotta decide how im doing the door without leaving gaps.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots

How big is your arena going to be Tom? Just cos I've been looking at designs (and seen designs in the states) that are maybe too big to really move around much in the arena.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots

The arena can be either a 2000mm X 2000mm battle box or a 1500mm x 1500mm arena using a removable 50mm high internal wall leaving a 250mm out of the arena zone.
