WEIGHT |
Heavy weight has a maximum of 80kg (approximately 12 stone.) Sir Chromalot weighed in at 76.5 kg after quickly removing his helicopter type sledge hammers. |
SPEED |
Approximately 5mph slow and 10mph fast. Unfortunately unable to afford a proper speed control we made one by gluing micro switches to the servos and they in turn switch on up to eight 70amp automotive relays via a spaghetti of cables, glue, bubble gum, and elastic bands. |
