Geoff, I think I saw something similar to that on Battlebots...

Now I remember. Fon Davis of Team Catbot had a robot that served him like a butler. It would bring him bottles and cans of anything he had in the fridge. It even did the vacuuming and dusting!

Kinda beats the point of having a wife, eh? :wink:

Dont hurt me.

Saw it linked in a post on the Technobots forum then discovered the guy who created it is acting as Chief Engineer for one of our course projects at uni - tis a small world sometimes!

Everyone began at that stage! James used to have a cable comming from his first version of Venom to power the claw. To activate the claw he had 2 drawing pins pushed into the transmiter attacted to the battery pack that was also selo-taped to the transmiter. To ctivate it he just had to push a paper clip over the pins untill it burnt his finger

At least these guys do it. And with the means at their disposal its no mean feat either.

Funny though, seeing its a transmitter going up in smoke for once instead of the robot.
