build a normal one, woodzilla wont be ready by then. gunna be a fun event i hope, so is it right to assume no chris, wayde or andrew?
ill have to get started on jolt-tooth-bling v2 just for that added psyche out effect, no doubt itll be kang vs jolt first time off for the 3rd time _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

Why can't they save the best till last? I am hard at work on Jolt, but time is running short and there still seems soooo much to do. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Nick, there is an important lesson in life you must learn. When times are tough, and your flat out, DUCT TAPE IT!
I reckon that would be the greatest challenge, building a robot where the parts are entirely held together with duct tape _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

(the free part was important cos otherwise it would be my most expensive bot if I had to buy gaffa!)

i reckon no other material other than gaffa...
motor mounts = gaffa tape
battery mounts = gaffa tape
frame and armour = gaffa tape
other then that do whatever i reckon, i feel cable ties and tie wire would be a total contamination of the overall "tapeness" of the robot _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

So hows everyone going for this event? I've thrown together a pretty good beetle i'll give a demo with and maybe joint shredding of objects with slash but no combat. Seems due to HSC we'll be missing glen, jeff and andrew? _________________ ( •_•)

While I have fond memories of the HSC (NOT!!!), I will just come along with Jolt and Slash - no textbooks. I think I have Slash's spin problem licked enough to make it work in a match... _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion
