FAQ
Q. Why did you start making robots?
A. I started after watching ochayedonald's Lego Robot Wars series, and wanted to build something like it. I started by using my old RCX and it's motors, and made a pusher bot. It worked, but not too well, so I ordered some motors to build with. My first attempts were hopeless, but I kept at it, and eventually got to the standard you see on my channel.
Q. How much did all of this cost?
A. Well, I was lucky to have a father who used to play with Lego technic, and so got most of my chassis parts for free, but I must have spent a good few hundred pounds on motors, batteries and receivers. If you start, be prepared to spend A LOT for good bots.
Q. Can I compete against you some day?
A. Of course! I appear at live events sometimes. Drop me a pm somewhere and I'll get back to you.
Q. Can I submit a robot for you to build/name to use?
A. Again, be my guest. It must comply with my rule set, but if it does (and if I have the pieces :P), I'll try my best to build it. Submit it via E-mail, as a drawing or LDD model. If you want to submit a name for a robot I've built but haven't named, do it in the comments section of the video.
I think that's it as far as FAQ's go, more will be added if I need to.
