Thank you
I will eventually go back to this, somewhere I can lose weight for that back cover.
And I would really like to come there, but if I go to the UK, it will be for a feather competition, at least for the first trip.

No Dave, a typical Robot Wars poster is:
"That's a razzor rip-off!!"

The build didn't really go according to plan, because of weight issues. I had to remove large parts to make it less than 150g, and this is how it ended: IMG_3896.JPG IMG_3897.JPG IMG_3899.JPG No armour on the back, exept for two strips to not let it rest helpless on it's back (if it gets stuck on th...

It's not final yet, as I also need to work out how to release using the same motor arm. I will use a a servo board for the motor, with the potentiomet...

Ciao! Since the school holidays are approaching (Yes!), I decided to start the design of the new F3. Before any building I want to move forward with the featherweight, but I have some ideas in mind: because f2, as pretty as it is, is very weak in performance, so I would like to make something powerf...

Curious on how it will end up looking!

I used cutted bike air chambers for thin tyres before and they are ok.

Looks good!
