That is one hell of a ram. Is there a build web page for Hades?

WOW looking good Gary ! Any specs for it so far ?

well the chassis will hopefully be just below 45kg so I could then enter it in middleweight contests aswell as heavyweight.

The etek will be removeable as will the weapon which will be mounted on the back. I plan on having a spinning disc (because i want one ) and another 1 or 2 weapons. Side armour is 4mm hardox. Top 10mm polycarb and bottom 5mm ali.

Im hoping to run it from my own speedo although at the minute testing (once the chassis is complete) will be done from the vantec.

Gary, Like your robot its looking good.
Question: When, where will you be able to use it?

I am currently building a spinner with a domed disk, pressed from 1/4 steel. I have stopped building at the moment because i cant see were i could play with it. Or are you hoping Robot Wars will return

Gabriel, to be honest I do not care if I cannot run it anywhere. I am building it because I want a spinner. I have designed it in such a way that the rear weapon pod can be removed easily and another weapon (axe or flipper) put in its place easily enough.

And if I can run it somewhere then, bonus!

Cool my thoughts exactly. I have only ever built spinners.
I think I will do a similar thing re interchanable parts, will your robot be able to self right.I am half way through, the self righting part of my robot raising the disc through 180 degrees the only problem being keeping the disc on a rigid base, dont want it to be weakned by the self righting part

gabriel, my philosophy is,

If you get flipped then your driving isnt good enough to be in the arena

Quite the irony, as it lost, getting flipped by Chaos 2, in the next series. I wouldnt exactly recommend tempting fate...
