The Steel Avenger will be competing at Kidderminster, it's changed owners, but it will now be brought back out of retirement, and will be competing in events.
Not that I am doubting your engineering knowledge or being derogatory in any way (as I dont know you), and i'm not sure what sort of condition the robot is now in, but if you need any advise on modernising old bots to allow them to comply with the rules as they currently are give me a shout
Hi Michael, if you coming to Kidderminster can you please sign up here http://www.robotslive.co.uk/signup2011.htm , as stated above, please make sure that it complies with the current rules set (main ones being power light & 2.4Ghz), give us shout if you have any questions.
The robot is working fine at the moment, all that needs to be done is have the radio system changed so that it complies with regulations, but I have got all of the parts for that, so hopefully that won't be to difficult.
Nice one, that shouldn't bee too difficult. Infact, easier to fit than the 40MHz gear I would suggest.
As Alan said, make sure you have a power light that falls within the rules, a lot of the old bots used filament bulbs (Eric included) which wouldn't be allowed anymore. Again, nice and easy to replace with an LED though
