Hi guys,
Got a few things either taking up space or unwanted/unneeded, hasn€™t quite been as big a clearout as I was hoping for, but may find more stuff over time.
Please buy Tom's crap before buying mine, he's selling way better stuff
First up is the mini Typhoon Rover chassis. Gary made this for the UK Robotic Games in 2006, before I bought it and turned it into €˜Bullseye€™ for my dad to drive at events. After an abysmal combat record, I rebuilt the chassis from 8mm and 12mm polypropylene and renamed it simply €˜Rover€™. It€™s not really designed for full-on featherweight combat and only weighs around 6kg with everything in it, but it would work well as a display/demo robot and something to practice driving. It has drill mounts but no motors or wheels, but they€™re cheap enough and easy enough to add these days.
Includes:
One set of HDPE motor mounts (from the old €˜UK Robotics€™ motor mounts) for two motors.
Two Futaba servos fitted with microswitches, to provide non-proportional €˜bang-bang€™ speed control.
Two 8.4V drill battery packs, roughly 1Ah. Fitted with Deans connectors.
Wiring, LED and removable link (Deans).
As mentioned, the chassis is 8mm polypro sides, 12mm polypro front and rear bulkheads, and the silver grey football guides and front nose bit are just wood. Top armour is, I believe, a road-sign picked up by Gary during a night out?
Open to offers.
----------------------------------
Next up is my fleaweight, Kiss My Asimov. Thrown together in a couple of hours, and competed at the 35th Antweight World Series.
Here is a video of it taking out a three-way clusterbot (very, very, very slowly):

Specs:
Electronize case body/chassis
1mm polycarb front wedge and side armour
2 x Tower Pro SG-50 servos, onto small plastic wheels (Chaos 2 pullback) with rubber attached. The servos are quite slow but could be speed hacked to make the robot pretty nippy.
A 6-channel DSM2 compatible €˜Orange€™ receiver, minus case.
A 4.8V, 120mAh (I think) battery pack.
No transmitter included. Any DSM2 Tx (DX6i, E-Flite etc) should do.
Open to offers.
Got a few more bits and bobs that I€™ll list later.
