Re: THE LONG WALK!!

So sorry to hear that you can't make it.
Perhaps someone reading this thread will be able to help, but if not then I hope to see you at Maidstone and put on Arac€™s running shoes we can have that race!

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

both of the walkers are looking amazing and massive lol, just looking at craigs walkers legs- it must have taken absoultly ages to get all the pieces cut for those legs.

will look forward to seeing both of them one day

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

I will probably be taking The Pilgrim to Portsmouth, if that is ok with the Roaming Robots Team, I don't know if it will have the pod covers made by then but the rest seems to be ok.
Anyone want a drive?

Re: THE LONG WALK!!

Just to keep you all up to speed on the walker.
Good news the covers have been made for the two pods they have been made from 2mm aluminium floor plate with that grip pattern on them they look very nice.
Now the not so good news the sabertooth speed controller has blown.
I have sent an email to Ian from Team Big brother, to see if i could have one of his new Wotty 100 speed controllers.

Hi
Anarchy from robot wars series 6 was a good machine dose anyone know if it is still going? The Pilgrim my attempt at a walker is only for show and won't be in the arena with all those dangerous machines

Well seeing as it's a true walking system(ala Jim Struts, Clawed Hopper, etc.) why don't you up it's weight to 200kg and give it a big spinning shell? That'll show us Americans that we're not the king at building spinners...

I'd like to see you try and find an arena capable of taking such a powerful spinner...

Regarding the idea of the pilgrim being used for combat I don't think so it's too fragile!
By the way I think the team that built and runs warhead (the best spinner on earth), are the old razor team from the UK.
