I feel I should put a note to say that high pressure compressed gas is very dangerous and should only be handled by people with the correct knowledge.

There....now, if you can cut the three horns and weld them back into a single horn with three inputs, you'll really be rocking and rolling....:-)

Actually, I would go further and say that the reason we get so much diversity is because of the 'daft rules'. I reckon antweight has more variety it design than any other weight class because of these restrictions. In terms of the arena, the 'right here, right now' principle was the same for that. A...

Simon/Dave thanks for the offers. I'll sort out a schedule of things that needs to be done and be in touch with you. I think initial tasks may be things like checking and updating links and pictures for robots and adding results. I've got tools that allow updating of some things, such as battle data...

I've only read half the discussion, so don't jump on me, but the cube is for two reasons. The original concept of ants was 'right here, right now' - so ants needed to be pocket sized. They were originally 100g (not sure when they changed, but well before WS1) and should fit in your pocket. The cube ...

RW101 - help requested

As many of you know, as well as this forum, there is actually a website at robotwars101.org. Those who have been around a few years will know that the website has been in gradual decline over the last three years due to other pressures on my time. As a result, a lot of the editorial work has slipped...

Apologies to all waiting for the DVDs - they are coming shortly. I've just got the menus left to do but as I'm sure you can appreciate, with a 6 week old baby in the house and a return to work after paternity leave, I've been very busy and not had much time. I'm hoping to finish and burn the master ...

Forum Downtime

I'm hoping to update the forum software again at this weekend (29th Apr to 2nd May inc) - and if I have time, restore some of the data lost in the recent attack.

If you find the forum down over this weekend, don't panic - its probably just me.
