Johnny 2x4- A 2wd wooden wedge bot. More details can be seen here viewtopic.php?f=240&t=4922

Speaking of wood, are there any other wooden robots? Not even my spiritual timber homeboy Block of Wood is there. So that 12 page thread in General Chat was for nought. :P

Tormenta (means Thunder in Spanish) (name may change...)

100mm wheels, 4x 12v drills at 18v, chopping board everything (varying from 5mm up to 20-25mm), electric 4-bar lifter.

Don't be fooled, it is made with really strong sellotape and really good rubber bands. :wink:

I'm not aware of what many of these robots are like. If your entered could you please post a little bit about your machine so everyone knows what the competition is like. Thank you very much. I shall start -

Because James said so. :P

Re: 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

There are a few unrecognised names in the comp this time, like 'Conker'. Anyone want to own up to that one?

I think thats what shrapnel is now called, of eventorizon fame :wink:

Re: 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

TS2- as of the minute a 2 wheel drive spinner.

3.5kg beater style weapon powered by a speed 900

may be rebuilding the chassis yet which will totally change the robot but will have to see

Re: 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

Not that I'm complaining, but how the hell did Drumroll manage to get 10th seed? It was utter cack last year!

Anyway, Drumroll: 2WD drum spinner, 15mm Nylon chassis and 4-6mm steel armour. Weapon weighs 2.3kg and is powered by a Scorpion brushless motor.
Carcinus: Unconventional (and possibly epic fail) three-wheel drive crab-bot, running 12V drills on 19.2V. Steel claws are only static, but will flash by in a blur as the robot heads straight for the pit
