5th or 6th eh?

Bring it to a real featherweight event with spinners in the arena. Its not proper combat unless something is spinning at high speed in the arena

Re: Building Robots out of RC Cars and Monster Trucks

That is what I'm talking about. You can't destroy the RC truck's outer casing .

Bring it to tag champs please.
Anything can happen in the arena. 360 got beat be a wooden robot didnt it Mouldy
oh and yeah there should be a feather kit availible. Gimson Robotics kinda had some basic starter kits when Ewan was about and the Zeobots kits have probs been best kit thats been out and thats stopped too. Wasnt Roaming robots going to start doing kits?
Somthing like the little Robo Challenge robots that the kids play with at events.

So they dont all the the same like the zeobots kits have a basic box robot with all components in and have a choice of weapons like Wedges, Spikes, static hammers axes for a thwack bot, maybe electric lifters all just to bolt onto the front, or as an option double up on drive and have it 4wd. Make bigger wheels an option just for Craig. Just drill motor drive on 12v, polycarb or hdpe chassis/armour. Nice and cheap for a beginner. Plus an advice sheet, not just for building there robot but informing them who not to fight with there new little robot kit. e.g. Hornet. Just Imagine Hornet getting hold of a super lightweight feather, If the impact of the disk doesnt kill there new fw instantly then hitting the roof then landing back on the hardox floor should finish the job off nicely.

What are the tag champs?
