[57north-discuss] Battle-bots

[Edward Watson]

Hey all

Tom mentions that there is a battle-robot theme night coming up this week
(Thursday was it?). I was thinking about us making these quick vibro-robots:

or these

We have shrink wrap, can easily get pound-shop button batts and
toothbrushes, can use workshop tea-lights and thermoplastic for the body
and legs. All we'd need are vibro-motors like the ones I just ordered from
ebay for Tuesday delivery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261391858897 :)

Happy lend out some Digisparks if any can think of a good use for them
here, as they can run from 2 button batts.

Any interest?

Cheers,
Ed
