This is what I got up to when I had no power today.
 
"Powered by a custom-built twelve-volt engine, Plunderbird One worships Jerry Anderson! Has a top speed of seven miles an hour, and carries a lethal array of interchangeable weapons pods - a deadly design!"

Very nice build there!
I'm jealous, you have so much darker style pieces. I only have the standard stuff.

I'm getting too old for this crisp.





Sorry If any of the images are upside-down, these were taken on my Ipod Touch.

When I was younger, I was a bit better:

Aside from Battlebots, anyone ever tried making actual mechs?
....One of these days, I'll go digging my bucket out and photograph some of the ones I made.
(Which are basically standard K'Nex-dude torsos + custom limbs)

Whoa... holy carp.  You just gave me an insane idea.  I think I have a pile of Robotix somewhere in my closet.  I wonder if I can construct something using both kits.

I think this is the kit I have:  (image stolen from the internets)



Controller and electronics are long gone... but most of the parts and pieces are still somewhere.  hmmmmmmm....

Hmmmm...
I need to start making more serious knex robots...
I made a Storm II replica.

[akshaylan]

I used to build robots with Knex like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.
Anyway, I had this set where you could control the robot through infra-red. The motor was so slow so I had to gear it to make it go decently fast. I might post some pictures of some of my other stuff soon, assuming anyone visits this thread anymore

[playzooki]

I made some small replicas.
Currently I have made: Chaos 2, Atomic, Hypno Disc, Terrorhurtz, Panic attack, Cassius III (never competed in robot wars due to Rex's protest.), Stealth, Cedric Slammer, Behemoth, 13 black (needs rebuild, ineffective discs) and Oblivion 2.
No pictures yet.

The arm is so long that the pieces may bend before it can lift even a very light mass

It can lift decently

Hang on I see how this works now, pretty cool.
I would just say tidy up the work on the end of the wheel axle
