Re: Working heavyweight

Buy the parts to get grim reaper into a working condition instead, you will learn by doing this... I fear that if you did purchase a working heavyweight you WILL hurt your self due to lack of experiance....there not toys.

Re: Working heavyweight

I am inclined to agree with Dave on this.
I would not wish to stop you from having one, but please be careful even a ram bot falling can injure you.
and lifting these things will dammage your back!
I wish there were more robot frendly sub assemblys you could get like motor and gearbox units ready to bolt in any heavy but there isn't that I know off!

suprised more people dont run the NPC stuff http://robotcombat.com/products/NPC-T74.html I only know of Dave running them, you can even buy hub adapters so you you can bolt the wheel straight on. Alot of the yanks use these, i used a pair on a project i did a while back and they seemed very well made.

Re: Working heavyweight

I think they are good too. there was one for sale on e bay a little time ago but they wanted a little too much for what was a middleweight machine! but they make a very good starter HW

because you're looking at almost $900 for a pair inc shipping + whatever tax/customs charge they might throw on it

(posted on behalf of my dad)

My father has een getting more and more interested in robots and has asked me to have a look for any first as he would like to get involved. if he doesnt find anything he may start building one himself

main reason he asked me to look as he doesnt have a lot of spare time so he would prefer one 'ready cooked' otheriwse it will take him a couple of years to fully get his one done

Re: Working heavyweight

im happy with my amount but my dad wants to run his own one

few more details from him, he would prefer it to be under £500 but £600 at a push

Re: Working heavyweight

He may be willing to pay more for the right bot but any type considered

Re: Working heavyweight

If you want to give me 600 quid for Scar we can work something out lol

Re: Working heavyweight

If you got scar working witha legal weapon then he might

Re: Working heavyweight

either that for a good solid drive train so he is able to add the finishing touched

Re: Working heavyweight

I don't think he is, but if someone gives him £600 for it in its current state, I wouldn't blame him for selling it on
