Hi there, welcome to the forum. To my knowledge, there has never been an effective antweight with a tethered projectile weapon. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try if you feel inclined but it definitely wouldn't be the easiest weapon to make effective. You might have more luck with that concept in a...

Would there be scope to claim back travel costs etc. from New Scientist Live?

It's a fair way off but if the dates work out then I'd happily volunteer, it sounds like a good venture. Were you looking for resources as well (arena, demo bots etc.) or just the man hours?

How much did it typically cost to get the plane over to the Netherlands when people went last time?

That's one of the most original robots I've ever seen How much does it weigh?

That was pretty obvious now I think about it.

I notice a bunch of the vertical spinners you've done have extra long motor shafts which you use for support. Can't work out where you would have got them from save machining them yourself. Care to spill the beans?

I never said Robot wars . I was at the filming of Railway Watch, new BBC 4 program with Gryff Rhys Jones.

Really long shot but don't suppose anyone else is currently in the audience at RW filming in Glasgow, it's been a while, might be nice to say hello

Great, thanks for your help, I am a bit cautious as I already fried my orange RX reciever by not plugging the cables in correctly ( it wasn't labelled :evil: ) Good strategy for avoiding that is to keep note of which pins are connected together on the PCB. The pins for the red and black wires for p...

You didn't mean this picture did you btw

A thought actually, who else is planning for a second series? It must surely be all but inevitable given the positive reception (assuming the next five Sundays aren't Dara O Briain strangling kittens for an hour) and I know I for one am kickstarting my ongoing bigger weight class efforts with half ...

Has this passed me by and people already know? First time I've heard it

What, all of engineering?! That's a bit extreme

If you get a bunch of enthusiastic people together they might give you a budget to start a team :) Formula Student at Sheffield goes back quite a few years before I joined so I'm not sure how it all started. The whole endeavor is IMechE run though and Reading is more famous for it's electronic engin...
