My uncle some of his friends and me are buildiing a awesome robot to compete on the next (dutch) edition of robotwars.It will be very cool, and strong etc. We put a lot of effort in it (2 yers, 2 evenings a week) and we are making good progress finally.Have a look on the website, for all the english users just click on gallery and you'll see some (old) pics
The weapon will be replacable, so we can have different weapons.
we have put lots of money in so far, i lost the count, but it is in the thousands of euros .Other competitors say we are VERY professional and will come far in the robotwars series
