I was looking at "the source" (canadian radio shack) and each 9.6v battery is like $30, but another friend of mine has a 9.6v pack from a old rc tank that he blew up years ago so i'll go with that, and probably get another one.

lol i ...

wow that guy lost a lot of customers because of just one of those pictures
anyone think they can pull it off? the person who makes it gets all the g-strings in my inventory

I like the spike idea, but it needs modification. As far as room goes, i think you will need at least 2 inch around all componets with styrofoam cushion for protection.
If you go with the spike weapon --
Concentrate on building a good strong bumper, mainly to protect yourself from collisions ...

I just did a sumobot for a school computer engineering project. But i want to go farther
the plan is to make a R/C combat robot under 3 pounds for beetle weight fights, and if we have too much weight and have powerful motors, then maybe go for the next weight class.

me and maybe one or two friends ...

oh that, i updated my first post after i added that one

boy this is old
