This kit was developed together with Chris Baron
for the fun sport of Bot Hockey.Six prototypes have been built and are
currently touring the country to raise awareness and interest in the game. They have proved a big success both with competitors and audiences. Some videos of the fun! BH1

(videos by Team kick-Me) The prototypes
used four Handiworks sized gearmotors and had good power and speed but these gearmotors are getting harder to get so the kit has been modified to use four of the Banebots 36mm 545 motored 25:1 Gearmotors. The design is such that if the bot
is flipped, the back becomes the front and you can continue playing without having change the controls. A separate battery compartment allows quick battery changes without the risk of disturbing anything else inside
the Bot. The design also allows full access when the top is removed and easy gearmotor replacement. Construction is similar to that of the CS3 kit. 1/4" UHMW panels attached together using my Aluminium
