Re: robot wars and battle bots

has anyone made nightmare or have u got any scematics for it?

Not been made as far as I'm aware. Your best resource is probably this:

http://www.robotcombat.com/nightmare_info.html

Click on a version to get more info; versions 1, 3, 4 and 5 all have a 'Construction' tab on their page that you can click on to see build pictures and so on. It should be straightforward enough to scale a robot up/down from all the details on there.

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Is there really anything left thy could be made into a FW?

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Tonnes.
Roadblock, Diotior, Killertron, Cassius, Gemini, Bigger Brother, Firestorm...

The list can go on, as that's just a few big names that came to my head in a few seconds. There are no doubt some less well-known robots that could make effective featherweights, but it all depends if the person building it finds them interesting (or 'famous' enough) or not.

Re: robot wars and battle bots

i would love a FW cassius, bigger brother or firestorm

some less famous bots would make good FW's but i just dont know which would

a FW gemini would be interesting, probably not that effactive but would be funny to watch

Re: robot wars and battle bots

on another note, has there ever been a HW version of a sucessfull FW? (besides the HW explosion)

Re: robot wars and battle bots

better jamie! lol...

No ones made an official knightmare copy due to the fact jim the guy who owns it in the US didnt want anyone copying it... Someone over here asked him once if they could do it and got a reply regarding lawyers etc...

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Could always make something loosely based around it?

Something with a mix of St hammer and nightmare would be an interesting design

Re: robot wars and battle bots

how do people make the FW versions of HW bots? do rhey just look at the designs and guess or acually contact the original builders?

Re: robot wars and battle bots

A lot of them are actually the teams themselves, are they not? DTK > Dantomkia, Kitty > Pussycat, etc

Re: robot wars and battle bots

It's not too difficult. I don't know what other people do but for some of my half-finished attempts in the past I just got a note of the dimensions of the HW as well as a good few pictures and then just went with what looked right. A cardboard mock-up or two never goes astray and can be good to judge whether you've got the look pretty accurate.

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Doesn't sound hard when you put it that way, I think something taking the best elements from a few bots could make somethig good, but that's not the idea of replicas
