Middleweights

[Guest]

Hello all
It is great to see a dedicated area for middleweights. Hopefully this will help to raise awareness of this woefully neglected category and encourage people to give it a go.
Cheers
Kyle
Phoenix ( the robot formally know as Malc 1.5)

Im hoping we will start to see more middleweights apearing at live events. Since Technogames Blazer has never been adapted into a fighting state, due to the fact theres no others to fight. All we need is a couple at live events to spark some interest. This weight is a good alternative to heavyweights. As they have the size and impact of them, but without the cost.

Hopefully Phoenix will be taking part in some more events later this year. It has taken longer than expected to knock out some of the dents. This is one Phoenix that was not meant to fly!
When is the crusade Sam? I missed it the other year but would definately like to be there next time.
It looks like Steel Sandwich and Phoenix might make it to Worthing in december as well.

would you run a middleweight full body spinner Sam?
just hypothetical at the moment.

Im now working on a new (possibly 2) new middleweights. Im looking towards next RW but would like some tryouts beforehand. If nothing else it will improve my chances by clearing safety checks before filming! Redundancy beckons in three weeks so for now Im collecting bits and tools. Linear actuators, checkerplate, stainless steel boxes, polycarb, cobalt drills etc.

Kyle, where can a completely new Voodoo Child put a removable link? I reckon that spiked wheels (with which I have fallen in love with) dont help my cause.

Dont see why not James..
You might have to ask the other Middleweight competitors if they want to play though obviously! :sad:

Can i remind all middleweight roboteers if they can find the time to fill in the FRA database form on the official middleweight site http://www.middleweights.fr.fmwww.middleweights.fr.fm - (there will be a rebuild of the site soon due to brinkster adds).
