The-Executioner: Time to sell the Robot!

I took a few days off and I bet you thought i'd left you huh! Whilst I was off relaxing and ultimatly NOT blogging :) I decided it's time to hang up my radio control and finally get rid of The-Executioner.

Yes I have decided to Sell it on Ebay. So if you fancy a go at Robot war or BattleBots if you live in the US then here is your chance :)

Armchair Roboteers!

So its late 1999 and I am round my friends house after having been to the pub for the evening. At the time I was VERY into racing model powerboats, and the pub on a friday evening was our club meeting. Well that was our excuse anyway!

So there we sit watching UK Robot Wars whilst eating our chinese :)

"We could do that" I said :) "Do you think so" Ian says? "Oh yes" I say "we can build a robot that really kicks arse! It easy" (famous last words) At the time we were armchair roboteers :) and did not have the first clue of all the skills needed to actually achieve that end!

This was the birth of team NO Mercy and The-Executioner version 1 was born that night.

The rest is history as they say :)
