Short introduction of a Dutch roboteer.
Hello all,
My name is Leo van Miert. I am a roboteer from the Netherlands (aka Holland, although technically incorrect). I have been active in robot combat since mid 2000, where I competed for the Dutch robotwars which was taped at the same time as the UK series 5.
I currently have 3 Heavyweight robots.
- Hannibal, a FP flipper co2, 2x Litton motor @ 36V. Ram is custom made by Maddox, who also built the ram for Merauder.
- RCC2, still under rebuild, horizontal crusher. Just needs some electrical wiring and its good to go.
- Drone, a sparring partner robot, no weapon, just thick armour and 2 wheels.
I also have a featherweight (12kg FRA rules), Hannibalito. Also a FP flipper, also a Maddox ram, but way less powerfull as Merauders. Drive is 2x Graupner speed 900 @ 19.2V.
Finally I also have an FRA rules antweight 150gram, named Katjuscha. It is a vertical spinner.
Right now I am also in the proces of designing a Raptor for the german competition, and a new Heavy, Which will see the return of Splinter to the robotwars scene (I bought the original splinter in 2003, and had it destroyed by Kan-opener and TerrorHz in 2004). Mario (Maddox) and I have been planning and desigining the new one for close to a year now.
Ok, I know it is not the short short announcement but at lest you now know a little about that Dutch guy on your forum.
