ZAFur Robotwar Team
Hey guys!
I've always wanted to do something like this.
But who would want to start a Robot Wars Team?
Ever since I was little, I was enthralled by RobotWars on TV.
I thought the sport died down honestly.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Randal posting that poster from Geekfest, showing they had Robot fighting as an attraction!
Would any of you be interested in starting a team??
For next year of course!

I wanted to do this so badly as a kid, I even ended up buying one of the licensed Battlebot RC replicas.

Re: ZAFur Robotwar Team
As a mechanical engineering student, this sounds most interesting to me! I cannot promise anything or make any obligations at this point, but I shall certainly give it consideration. I am completely inexperienced in the field of robotics, however; yet, there is still time to learn!

Someone along our many moves, it got lost.
Here we go:
Diesector/RC Pro Series
I had it specially imported from the US.

As much as I'd love to, I have no expertise in robotics save for AI thanks to psychology and learning about AI systems and how they develop to understand psychology more.

There is really little electronics... It's basically an RC receiver, and a control board, driving a (usually) PWM or PPM motor controller...Hargan wrote:As much as I'd love to, I have no expertise in robotics save for AI thanks to psychology and learning about AI systems and how they develop to understand psychology more.

Re: ZAFur Robotwar Team
My older brother is maybe going to compete in the robot wars next year at Geekfest, if he gets time to make his bot. He's also considering hosting his own Robot wars at his house.
I'd rather be fursuiting
