Sorry. I just do not bother with fanfics.
If they are going to call it battle
bots, they ought to be autonomous. That movie called REAL STEEL, should have been called ROCKEM SOCKEM ROBOTS, because that's what they were. Two guys jamming their thumbs on levers.
I want to see fully automated machines destroying each other.
kinda good IDAK VS. all bad IDAK.
I remember Heathkit & its Hero1 robot. Its one arm was, of course radio controlled. How much of it was truly robotic?
Ahh, the good ol' days, when there were electronics shops targeting hobbyists. Even RADIOSHACK was more parts than toys. True, I never built anything that was truly on my own, except as school projects. I did buy quite a few parts, though. TAB books on such topics as BUILD YOUR OWN SELF-PROGRAMMING ROBOT.
$$$$ How much I spent-or wasted on parts that I eventually threw away!
