Im sure most of you have seen battlebots. There is also robotwars, and botbash, etc.

Some people are making ant weight robots. Tiny, custom made fighting machines. I was thinking of trying it out. much easier and cheaper than the large ones.

Hi ChaoticThoughts,

This is a link to Robocode, a program to make battle bots on your screen. I thought you might be interested.

coooo.. what would you do with the smalle sized ones? I assume they are tiny like ants? That would be pretty hard to make, wouldn't it?

i watch alot of Battlebots...

Not quite that small. Depending on the place, some are 1 lb. or so many ounces. And the most expensive thing on them is the radio, then you get a couple small motors and batteries, etc.

I think I enjoy designing the bots more than spending any money.:D
