The One Show had a couple of segments on the new series this evening. Our robot was on the screen for almost a whole second

In light of the recent news that Robot Wars is returning to BBC, we're looking at the possibility of bringing back DisConstructor.

One thing we need are new batteries. We operate of a 24V system. Does anyone have any recommendations or what current heavyweights are using now?

Well one does one's best

could we borrow a drill + drillbits and bolt cutters (need to cut some thick piano wire) from someone tomorrow please? just need to do some quick maintenance on our robots.

Thanks

I've broken radio silence! and dragged this thread from the depths of the forum.

three new robots for AWS43

Avenger 2 (flipper)
Excalibur
Nigel Thornberry (flipper) also i have built and arena has a pit and a solenoid operated flipper

just a quick update

I am planning on going to this, I will sign up later in the week once I know what antweights I am bringing (there all in bits at the moment, and I am trying to get a new one built)

We are probably at the stage where we do (unfortunately) have to look into ways of raising money to cover the cost of events. I've been thinking about this, and had a couple of ideas on how to make money to pay for AWS events. 1) If we got some simple adverts on the main website. 2) Sponsership fro...

cool, did not want to upset the timetable of events

err... engineeing works between redhill and reading are causing problems with the trains for us, is it alright if we are about 5 or 10 minutes late?

Signed up already, but I wanted to check the rules about interchangeable shells and/or weapons, something i'm working on at the moment. Also I may sign up Little Doris for the non spinner competition if i can get it working again.
