i was wondering what feather robots have been made the same as rw and bb robots i know theres venom and 360 but what others?
i was thinking about making NIGHTMARE! feather weight?

Re: robot wars and battle bots

razer, storm 2, panic attack, DTK, ripper, pussycat and behmoth from robot wars have all been made into FW versions

a FW nightmare probably would be amazing due to the amount of flippers we have it would be easily over turned

Re: robot wars and battle bots

There have been quite a few as far as I can recall, most of which have probably been retired (with exception of the newer creations)

A few that spring to mind are:

Pussycat > Kitty
Typhoon 2 > Typhoon Cadet
Dantomkia > DTK
Kronic > Weed
Ripper Evo > Rip Evo
Terrorhurtz > Mini Hurtz
Warhead > Predator (someday )

Not too hot on other Battlebots robots though so not sure what's been made there. Haven't seen a FW Nightmare before but I know there have been incarnations in the small weight classes over in America.
I also remember seeing an old pic of a UK featherweight that was similar in design to Nightmare but that was several years ago and I can't recall its name.

One FW replica that hasn't been done (but that I would love to see) is Big Nipper; even the name of Little Nipper is well suited to it and would slot in nicely with their other featherweights. But I imagine it would be fair challenge getting the necessary weapon mechanisms and 8-wheel drive into the weight limit and have it all working to the same degree of effectiveness as the heavyweight.

Re: robot wars and battle bots

yeh i like it cus of that! but its a great design

Re: robot wars and battle bots

one that seems SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO obvious yet no one has made is a FW chaos 2!

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Yeah, although doing it justice would be difficult.
You'd have to have two pneumatic rams to stay true to the heavy, but they would be a lot less powerful than one centrally-mounted big(ish) one similar to what a lot of featherweights now use. As a result, you'd have a Chaos 2 replica that would be expected to be the best in its class (like its daddy) yet would be upstaged by several other flippers.

But it would be cool nonetheless

Re: robot wars and battle bots

I do think that you can't stay completely true to the HW originals

Look at tiny hurtz, it doesn't have 6 buffer thanks or ridiculously small wheels on the outside

Re: robot wars and battle bots

probably not the best idea for a second robot mate.

Re: robot wars and battle bots

Re: robot wars and battle bots

A FW 13 black would be lethal, yet would need a srimeck

Re: robot wars and battle bots

or third or forth, proberbly. too expensive, not to mention dangerous.

Well it was mentioned in the first post so I didn't see much point in mentioning it again. But if you insist....

not really, best to have 1 heavier more powerful disk than 2 weak ones
