Thinking of building a combat robot? The internet is a valuable source of information.
Be sure to research how other people have designed and built a combat robot.

| Killerhurtz | Excellent "how to" section with drive train calculator, specs of the popular Bosch GPA motor and the definitive pneumatics guide. |
| Force Majeure | Contender for series 5 built by the designer of our next weapon, Neil Thomas. Lots of details on construction - well worth a visit. |
