Re: OK, I'm building a heavy... But need some help...

Come to event and have a look at the heavies. Anyone will gladly show you around theirs if you ask them. That gives you a great idea what's involved. I remeber when I first saw them in the flesh and thought God, no, I couldn't build that at all.

Hi mate glad to see that you want to have a go with a Heavy ,its a bit of a tall order not just to build one

but to compete on a level playing field with other heavies, could be a bit soul destroying if and when you

get a battering,----however if you suceed you will have a wonderful experience ,and your learning curve

will go vertical, contact Johnno and as many Roboteers as you can ,visit their websites steal as much

info as you can go for it kiddo , Everything in the world is Engineered, one way or another ,its just

waiting for people like you ,BUT !!!!!!!!!BE SAFE read the FRA safety guide lines (thats what there for)

Enjoy,

Tony Bulldog Breed, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr der boyz

OFF TOPIC - Last time you guys posted, was waaayy back in July... Taking a break with the bulldog, were you?

I have read through the safety guidelines before, as soon as I joined, but as you said, I shall read them again. Also, I can't wait to see the bulldog back in action, great robot.

Re: OK, I'm building a heavy... But need some help...

Well batteries are so obvious that I just didn't mention them (literal translation: I actually forgot :blush: )

So all of what I mentioned and what dgr mentioned as well.

Pretty much yeah. Minus the weapon, that's pretty much all I used for Anger.

Re: OK, I'm building a heavy... But need some help...

Guys, you may be right, I may just enquire about buying one and see how it works....
