1/10th scale paper robots to make

[calvertfilm]

I made these free paper models a while ago for me and the kids to have some fun, so thought I'd post the link here as well:

I've used famous designs (no copyright infringement intended - these are free and made for fans to have fun with) but you could also design your own. If you put radio control micro cars under them they fight really well (see the videos).

Have fun!

Sorry to go off topic but what happened to Cyber Dave?

Nothing - certain teams members got bored with it, and just seemed to stop working on the electronics. That meant the rest of us waited, and waited, not wanting to replace them. In the end we shut down the web site, and that was it really. Shame. All we have now are its remains and the videos on YouTube.

That is a problem with a team - you are only as strong as the weakest member.

Ah I did a similar thing, I think I talked to Laurie about it at the time. We wanted to sell them at events but I cant really see that happening now so I'll see if I can find them and I'll put them up too

I think I'll invent a saying here: The most reliable team is a team of one.

Probably something similar already exists. And it would depend on who the 'one' is

Indeed. However it also means that if it all goes wrong, everything is your fault :wink:

Re: 1/10th scale paper robots to make

Very nice. Any more? This would be a good place to add them all.

Re: 1/10th scale paper robots to make

Here's some more then... One is one of Jonno's house robots from a while ago, with no tabs or anything so you've kinda got to figure that one out as you go along...

Re: 1/10th scale paper robots to make

That's a nice selection now

Re: 1/10th scale paper robots to make

Spinter and Atomic One of my fav's... If anyone has any requests I could have a search... I made quite a lot and I can only find a few but if anyone wants a particular one I could probably hunt it down...
