Team S.M.I.D.S.Y

Hi! So as our first event is coming up I thought I would show you all the new and probably not improved SMIDSY who you may remember from The original robot wars.

Didn't know SMIDSY was still actively competing. For some reason I thought the robot ended up becoming High-5 from Robot Wars? Not sure why I was thinking that. In any case I've got a soft spot for old competitors still in the game. :)
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

high-5 was modelled after SMIDSY, because the team that built high-5, team ACE, owned SMIDSY at the time of series 9.

I just hope you guys had a fun weekend regardless. Luck wasn't on the side of your parent team at all by the looks!

Is it still a heavyweight?  I didn’t know there were any UK events where they allowed big spinners

Yes it is still a heavy weight. Extreme robots are now allowing spinners running at half speed but not many spinners actually worked at the event

Max tip speed in the new arena is 125mph, this weekend was the first time they ran due to finally getting the roof on.
Not half speed per se, after all series 9 Aftershock ran at 135mph

We put a new motor in SMIDSY ready for Manchester.We also fixed all the issues we had in the last event minus the drive and cut back on a bit of unneeded weight

Here is SMIDSY spinning up the weapon. We were standing outside the garage during this and we could still hear it spinning

It's only a rough guess but we reckon around 600-1000 rpm which I'm not sure how that compares to other bots

trim your weapon shaft, that much excess is going to get bent super easily
