I beleive that Little SPinner 2 is not being entered, its attualy Little Hitter 2. Would of preferd Little Spinner 2 than Little Hitter 2 as my top 5mm T6 ali is gonna have a few dents in it, where as the new 4mm hardox outer shell has already proven, Scorpion Evil cant even mark it.

And from what i herd about a fight against the New Little Spinner and Batter bot, Little SPinner came off worse breaking its gear box and all sorts. So the spinners dont bother me, im more scared of Battle Bot and Alpha and Ploughbot as there the other 3 decent pushers like myself. So it will be down to low ground clearance and driving skill really.

Should be fun.

And for KR3-SP2 - like the Micrsoft SP2 on my computer, i have downloaded all the updates and installed all the anti virus stuff and spy ware software and my computer seems fine, so hopfuly KR3-SP2 will continue the same way

Same here with the LH and LS thing, im happy to fight little spinner but at Fanborough LH bent my top (same as yours 5mm T6) down onto my battery pack and ended up snapping a link between cells!

New LS is having teething problems (snapped pinion gear on magmotor and a drive pin broke) but still as powerfull as before.

whos driller killer and overdrive?

Overdrive is AJs 4WD rambot with just a scoop for now I think. I dunno who driller killer is

Id personally prefer Little Hitter, so it would be good if what youre saying turns out to be true, and there isnt yet another spinner to contend with.

Vertigo hasnt suffered any real problems besides the drive gearboxes and getting stuck up on arenas, so hopefully my gearbox mods and new lifter actuator which can now send the arm below flat will give the machine a good chance in the competition.

Ewan, stats of hornet,

- 2kg disc at the back powered by a pancake motor
- 4mm hardox sides and front
- ali base and polycarb top
- 2 12v golds on a 4:1 ratio with 90mm blue wheels
- 2 electronize 15amp

currently weighing in at 13kg (why couldnt the new limits have come in ) so a bit of weight reduction will have to take place. I will probably just replace either the side or front panels with some ali. I really cant be bothered and dont have the time to drill holes left right and centre. Most of my time at the mo is being spent on having a running heavyweight.

Okiedoke, good luck getting it down in weight - Im sure Tony wont have any complaints with some ali here and there :wink:

Itll certainly be the heavy well be looking out for most for sure!

The more Ali the better. Just about to get the router out, got to lose 400g.

Ironsides this belongs to Trev (Mighty Mouse) it is a 2 wheel drive hexagonal Hardox ram bot.
The last time I say Conundrum mk2 it had a spinning drum at the front driven by a EV Warrior and a wedge at the back.

Captian Scarlet is a featherweight Robo Challenge kit. had a practise against venom and ploughbot and dispite getting pierced and slammed into the walls it just keeps going and won half the time lol. Reliability is the key to this machine, lets just hope it works lol!

If you want jonno i can bring Venom to put on display.

Apart from Suprise which I know very well I have no idea about the others........ not even Small Torque LOL
With a brand new robot and very inexperienced driver I dont expect Small Torque to do brilliantly but rest assured that Jenny and I will give it 100% to get it to the final.

Chassis... Ali
Armour... Less said the better
Drive... 18v Drills with custom gearboxes
