Hi All

A short series my kids and I have just made using 1/10th scale radio control paper robots that are scale models of Chaos 2, Lightning, 13 Black, Tornado, Steel Avenger, Hypnodisc, Pussycat and Panic Attack. Fighting on a scale arena too, with working flipper and a pit.

Here is the first of ten videos here for you to (hopefully) enjoy:

The last video shows how we made this series.

Lots of action and fun.

Cheers,
Laurie

Team Lightning, series 7.

They were fantastic, and judging by the outtakes clip there was a lot of fun to be had making it

Thanks. Yeah was a lot of fun. In fact tonight we did an 11th video with Plunderbird and Firestorm, and one of them catches fire!

Was funny but it stunk the room out.

I don't recommend you do this at home kids - ask an adult (H&S Safety Warning there).

That was especially good.

Thanks.

Also today we've filmed some more. These are done 'by hand' and was my son Jon's idea. This is his series really. Younger audience will like these too.

Lightning still works but is retired. We do sometimes attend live shows as a static display. We were thinking of going to Maidstone next weekend but it clashes with another film festival thing I'm doing.

We do keep a diary going, and it still is going to this day. Just go to our web site and click on the Robot link if you are interested to see what we've been doing:

Our web site is one of the few robteers sites still going it seems. Shame that.
