BBC Robotwars Fighting Radio Controlled Robot - Ruf Ruf Dougal

Build Diary- June 2001

We're confirmed for Robot Wars Live at Cardiff International Arena on the 26th July so thing will have to speed up!

Motor Controllers have arrived from 4QD as has the interface board from Derek Foxwell.

Sourcing the Multiplex radio gear has proved difficult even though the distributor is only 2 miles away! I managed to get it from King Cobra Racing in Rawtenstall and it arrived next day.
