The cheese is about 11 kgs it doesnt seem to have a disadvantage

Speedbump weighed in at 8kg and beat the lightweights in Melbourne

Less weight means it drives faster!

Orange had better not go too fast. The driver is crap.

hehe you will be driving too fast for anyone to notice!

Go singularity style, wall assisted steering
Yeah, underweight is an advantage, don't build up weight unless its really needed... you beat spinners better

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Orange had fun on the weekend. It is novel to be able to flip without having to worry about the recoil of a miss. The other advantage is getting loads of shots from a single 3.5 oz CO2 bottle. That is about 100 g for those who have past the 1960s.

Orange didn't win many fights, but it was fun just being there.

One speedo died. The FRA guys think that it is dead circuitry not a stuck relay. There was a piece of aluminium swarf from a self tapping screw inside of the speedo box. This probably shorted something causing the fault.

Here is a picture of Orange's 3.5 oz tank. http://robowars.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1316 It weighs 333 g. The tank is shorter than a drill motor and gearbox. It cost a couple of dollars second hand.

I emailed Electronize regarding the damaged speedo. They told me that they will fix it for a standard fee of 9.98UKP. I will post them off soon. I might also buy one spare. That way, if I loose another one in the next three years, I will be able to swap the spare into the robot and keep playing.

The boss has OKed the repair plus the two upgrades plus the purchase of a spare speedo. This is on top of the money recently spent on parts for Marauder. Have I ever mentioned that Karen is the best?

My two speedos are wiinging their way to England. It cost $16.50 for air mail for the both of them. I didn't think that was too bad.

5 posts in a row... That's just post whoring Philip

Seems like Electronise are pretty easy to deal with, shame their controllers arn't in a bit bigger in ratings. A 50A cont. controller from them would be attractive to the bot builder...

Remember that not all controllers are rated the same way. I have had a dead short across one controller and still not made it warmer than room temperature.

Ok, my mistake.
