I like your robots strangely I wanted to try and fit a robot into a matchbox but never got around it it myself.

I cant see the pictures as i am at school, but it seems like Spall has alittle competition in the dudeweight area!

they look awesome! i love the idea of using a mouse trap

[alasdair]

Just seen them- Great Robots! You have literaly made matchbox esinto robots!

[TheAntTrap]

i don't think "Fire Box 2" can survive long with antweights, if i meet Variant or Anticide, it's all burnt trash.

[alasdair]

it's all burnt trash.

Badum Tiss! (drum cymbal)

Thats what you may think, but when joey entered his dudeweight Spall, against millitant (another one of those deadly waller spinners) a wheel cam off, and that was it! All the disc did was hit the off switch!

I saw it on YouTube in D0ntstare's channel, and i saw Mantis.

Thats my channel , it was awesome, but what was better was the little robot rumble at the end where spall managed to survive a rather violent attack from millitant which shredded it, however it still works! hahaha
