Nice to see that fighting robots is still generating interest else where. Would be good if you can give us an update as to the activities on the other side of the world. As you can see we have alot of events here in the UK and else where.

So be nice and helpful to them !!!

Im sure that the Denizens of this Forum will do so...

You could however prime them to be as specific as possible with questions and give as much information as possible about what they want to achieve or the problem they have.

Hi, Im Eugene in Singapore. Im among a bunch of aspiring robotic warriors and we are having a wild time with John Finlay who is in town to host the fighting robot workshop for a whole 5-days session. we are into the 3rd day today. Yesterday was a day of mayhem.. we had our robots, all built up of cardboards, equipped with servo & all and tearing limps off each other in the arena. Was fun & exciting. We are hoping we will have the opportunity to continue into the future & maybe have our own official Robot War TV show in Singapore. We are all excited to proceed on to built larger, heavier & meaner robots as we go along. One day we will have to fly up to the UK with our robots & fight our way to robot war in UK.. who knows.. time will tell.

We are about to start building 12kg feather weights, with weapons, we are decideing on whats best... axe, flipper, or lifter, or crusher... we are using an electric motor.

thanks

i would suggest a lifter in my opinion the easiest one. i myself use a lifter in my feather weight

however axes are cool and can do alot of damage

tell us what you choose and if it worked

axes are great fun to watch but i think the crushers are best... brute force!

Only thing with crushers is its difficult to get enough power into one to actually crush a machine so they tend to be more grabers. however a good grabber can easily take out its rivals! good luck with the competition post some piccys. you never know you may be battling us some day soon!

Its great fun isnt it? We are just mid-way to completing our first 12 Kg combat robot. The main transport is finished and well thinking through what would be a good weapon to adopt. Its approaching the evening over here... looks like its gonna be a sleepless night... In the meantime, were just have driving this new baby around.. got to brush up on remote control (navigation) skill as well!! Will keep you guys & gals informed as we progress onward.

if the weapon is electric then mabee try and build it into a lifter to lift your opponents drive and pushing them at will. there was a sucessful robot called Panic Attack also i think jonno has a robot there called Pain in the Asp which is a very good example and 1 of my favourite feathers. i find it very exciting that there are a new bunch of budding roboteers in another country and we in the uk welcome you all to the sport of roboteering. you can check my profile for my personal email address and feel free to ask for anythink to help you on your way. you do have there 1 of the best tutors so you wont go far wrong. i will be looking here every time i log on. again welcome and enjoy battling robots

Hello to all you budding roboteers over in Singapore! I look forward to seeing you guys if you come over to the UK to fight your robots.

Considering youre using robot kits, Im assuming none of them have really thick, or strong, steel armour. In which case, using an electric motor as part of a crushing mechanism could actually be quite effective, and could take advantage of any thin armour protection and allow you to beat the opposition (and crush all Jonnos components in the process )

Hi Guys,

Wakey wakey.....
Its 245pm here on day 4 of 5...... thought id update progress.

Last night we had 4 working feather weight chassis finished and working... and of course they took them for a test drive.... and they ended up having a war.

Tension is building and the competition is fierce... they all are working hard to become singapore champions for 2008.

Today has been about weapons, they have learnt the theory about different weapon types.... pneumatics, hydraulics, etc....

We have 4 feather weights being constructed and each has a different weapon.

No1 - has two gripping arms which looks very similar to big nipper style.

No2 - has an electric lifter working the same way as envy.

No3 - has a lifter, or rather they keep telling me its going to be so fast it will flip. They also tell me they arent worried about their fellow students robots, they plan to seek and destroy Pain in the Asp. Yes Eugene who previously posted is their team captain !!!!
He is the singapore SWANNY... he has brought so much laughter to the course !!! Ive found you a friend mate

No4 has an arm fitted to the top which runs sideways, the concept to drive underneath and flick them off sideways.... like lightning used to have.

Who will win..... i dont know.... it could be any of the four to be honest !!!
We are using a big stairway as the arena.... we will be above it looking down.... and the pit of doom equvilent will be the stairs.... you loose and your going down a level.

they will compete in three challenegs.... Sprint, sumo and combat !!!

well i will be bold and put my money on Eugene. anything envy style must be good have they names there creations yet? sounds like your having a ball mate. as to destroying pain in the asp well all i can say is good luck you will have a good time catching it. keep them updates coming jonno and ask the competitors to spend 5 mins on the forum and post what they think about roboteering and a little about their robots.
