Ok to Pass the time for me building my bot I have decided to make a build diary Noting every step I take on making my robot.
Yesterday : Completed my order for my stuff from RC wars . James is a very nice chap with a good bussiness going keep it up .
Today: not such a good day phoned and met up with a couple of companies interested in Sponsoring me but later all turned down :sad: . Also while i was at school in Craft And Design got burnt by a piece of hot perspex now got a burn mark about 30mm long on my arm IT HURTS!!!!

Even though LA Machine is certainly not a featherweight, it demonstrates this rule in its fight with Chinkilla.

A lot of battle scars on this old favourite.

I know , it is kinda strange we use the same type of drills (18v woolworths except ewan has change the motor) same rc wars wheels and IBC its like something out of the twilight zone .Ewan i am not trying to copy you in any way but its just difficult to make a rambot look different from one another!!

just been told buy kenny there is already a robot called BAM-BAM so i am going with it second name BYTE!!

Oh Ewan dont be childish does it matter if you have a similar bot? Its not like your the first person to create a bot with drill motors, RC wars wheels or an IBC, your bot could sound like a thousand other push/ram bots made before yours. What makes it worth mentioning.

( Im alittle grumpy today )
