No feathers, just heavies, with the weight limit raised to 110 kg plus an extra 10 kg for shufflers or an extra 25 kg for walkers.

Get in touch, as he said, and you'll probably get the form

Done

I received an email to my robot website about the new series from Mentorn today.

Had a look at Orac and Orac's Revenge sitting in the garage, looking in a very poor state. Will probably have to make something new, but 2 months is a very tight timescale, not sure if I could build anything presentable

2 months, that's not long at all

[TeamPsyclone]

Yeah, I feel there's gonna be a lot of glued togethers, I can only hope it'll make for more interesting designs than just flippers, flippers and the occasional spike. I know I'm going to try to create something vaguely interesting, though I only have a old flipper chassis so that might be a pain

[james...venom]

Hi Guys

As mentioned if you would like to apply please email robotwars@mentorn.tv and you will receive it. The weight has been increased to allow people to make their robots unique and interesting, not for hardox... As you can imagine we have lots of applications and limited spaces. With so many flippers being around its imperative that your robot is as unique and interesting as possible.

The BBC have also launched the Official facebook page for Robot Wars (no other pages are to do with the show) which can be found here. Please like, share and talk on here https://www.facebook.com/BBC-Robot-W...7507380080282/

Once again thank you all so much for your support. Its a very bright future indeed if all goes well.
