I managed to mount side no problem Dave. Didnt really need a hand with this job as it was just time consuming and fiddly. There are jobs which will require more hands. Battery mounts, a quick mount so I can take the wotty out easily. Still need to use it in my feather for a few fights. The most time...

10/12/08 Footnote No actual building. The bulkheads have been sitting in my room and occasionally I like to prop them up again and admire how this thing could look. Was going to build yesterday but found out that my local cinema charges 7 pound to see a film. Aside from Tuesdays where its four pound...

Beginnings 7/12/08 I made an order for the HDPE and it all arrived on the 5th. I had never seen such thick HDPE. 1meter by .5M and 20mm thick.

It was a great experience and was probably the most reliable thing I buil...

I remember Pete saying that he cant get though 3mm polycarb. I would copy pete some what. Have a base made of wood. The ...

sigh.....great weekend Well actually it was. Got to see my sister which I have not seen since July. Actually what happened is that I was cycling on sataday and my derailleur (rear gear changer thing) on my bike snapped off. I need the bike for work to convert a 40minute walk to a 10 minute cycle. Ar...

Write I was writing this massive speech yesterday but then I had to go home from work so here it is in short. Basically its a new machine and will has not fought with antweights before. Antweights to scale do way more damage then any other weight class in robotic combat. This is wills first ant weig...

what so I can see my reflection from the second place podium. Since thats where I usually stand
