van het FRA forum,
Hi,
My name is Sarah and I'm with a group called Hazard Factory that produces an event called the "Seattle Power Tool Race & Derby."
We are bringing our races to Robodock in Amsterdam in 2 weeks, and would love to see racers submitted from all over Europe. I would love to see some fighting robot racers!
You can find out more about our event by watching this video from MAKE magazine which also explains how to build a racer:

There are videos on youtube and pictures on flickr from this year's races:

And an article in Popular Science:

Race Track Specs:
305mm rail to rail (1 foot)
19meters long (60 feet)

Technically speaking, Whiskey is a solution.

Ian Lewis van onder andere Razer, en John Reid en Nick Lynch van TerrorHz doen hier aan mee. Of ze ook naar Robodock komen weet ik niet, maar ze hebben al behoorlijk specialistische dingen ervoor gemaakt.

Je snapt het verkeerd.
Dit gaat over Powertool dragraces, ofwel het zo snel mogelijk een haakse slijper of bandschuurmachine over een houten baan van 19 meter laten racen.

Aan de ene kant is het wel leuk om te zien, maar voor mij is het niet iets wat ik zou gaan doen als hobby.
