Ok, picture added to my profile of €œStealth .

Yes I have a robot which is small, even fits in the boot of my little Yaris without moving the seats... bonus.

Steel construction, brand new bosch drive, custom made wheels, runs either way up, 4qd 70 controllers, bosch powered 1:1 ratio belt driven triangular disc @ 24v direct using relays, titanium / what ever the boys at rolls Royce decide would be good to use blades being made, which fit onto the disc. Weapon reversible for upside down driving. Even got a remote kill on it.

Just needs my spare batteries fixing in, and a receiver and it is ready to go. Oh and it was originally made for the 80kg weight limit, so I got to put 20kg of something on it

Oh yes what€™s even better..... I was given it in the state in the picture .... for free. !!!

Jonnos built a small robot ?

What is the world coming to when Jonno builds a small robot :sad:

Small, It looks smaller than ours. If youve made a disc does that mean youre running discs in your arena?

Small robot... life size picture, doesnt fit on my screen.
Glad to see you are taking the rust route Jonno.
Looks a bit like SKAR (think it was ) from series 4...
I was going to build a small robot, but decided it needs to be wide just to irritate Andy and it tin-opener

mmm maybe it is scar, i wondered where it came from orinaly, the guy i was given it by , bought it and another one from the guy for £400...would love to know the history of it.... lots of many hours work gone into it.

Actually had it driving today, lots of fun.
Its not much bigger than our featherweight.

85cm wide, by 75cm long, by 35cm high.

Need to make some battery brackets and a top panel and its ready to fight.

Aha
I thought it was a fine looking beast, but remeber they had problems, either at robot mayhem before RW4 or during filming, when the resin gears in the weedy gearboxes sheared their teeth... sort that out and you have a very pretty little robot, and built a while ago, so able to add 20kgs to... (didnt think youd BUILD a little bot)
