Well u can buy them at some electronics shops also i believe.
One builder in america has 2 sozbots, 1 is called mean burrito and has a wedge and a large flame comes out if it engulfing the other robot. If they dont tap out straight away basically something burns so it scares most to a quick 'tap out' and now he has built a new one (forgot name sorry) that has the same as first robot but a servo powered arm to also grab and hold in place while the fire gets them.
Quite cool looking indeed.
I have some video's of it but wouldnt know how to load them up. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Yeah thats the one.
I have one video where it retired a previous version of a vertical saw blade spinner caled corrosive.
Burrito got the flame under him and for a good 10 seconds had the flame on him. He didnt tap out but when corrosive was free he was on fire, he spun up the blade and hit the titanium wedge plate breking the whoel spinner mechanism clean off from abuse.
AT the end it zooms in to a charcoaled carcass of what was the robot corrosive. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics
