Yeah I know it's a dog of a machine but to be frank, I only even built it to have fun :D - now sit there tell me that's not fun looking...

Hijack away as much as you like, I love seeing pics of other ants!

That looks great.....a strange cuteness to it which is probably quite hard to pull off with a robot armed with a scalpel blade! I had completely forgotten about naplam in robot wars, and only now having seen your ant has the name similarity registered with me. I look forward to seeing it in action :)

I'll try and get a pic of one of mine up tonight.

That's the best thing I've seen on here in months!

Here's my first ant....Tantrum. Not quite as interesting as Napalm Death unfortunately!

I really like it too. Reminds me of the original version of American lightweight Das Bot. Good work!

I'm loving all these new robots AND roboteers :).

The live event compere's usually say 'the easiest way to get into robots is featherweights'

Balls in my opinion!

We are the fastest growing weight class in the sport, you only have to look at the daft figures for AWS 36 to see that. Roll on more newbies :)

NB: I went to use the other B word in the 3rd line, the language filter doesn't block it :P

Bum?

Andrew, there is only one word I want to use: Tidy! *drumbeat*
It's probably more practical than Napalm Death, if that's any comfort to you.

Thanks to all for the compliments - I'll try not to get it too destroyed!
