Patrick is breaking down the most common screws holding the fighting robots for FightFest and why they are picked for the job. 🔩🤖

Cap Heads: The most common screw we sell and we have thousands of them. Use them in everything from drivetrain to the panel work.
Button Heads: Low profile, rounded design. Perfect for the underside of the robot, where things can get caught.
Shoulder Screws: These are fantastic for all for the bigger parts like wheels.

Ellis and Patrick just unboxed a fresh delivery of engineering goodies sent over by Labman!

This delivery is packed with heavy-duty speed controllers and custom-built motors engineered to handle immense electrical and kinetic stress loads.

With these parts now in the engineering room, the assembly of our FightFest robots can truly begin.

Please welcome our latest robot challenger: Huddersfield Town ⚽🤖

Branded in the club's iconic blue and white stripes, The Terrier Twister brings a highly tactical and relatively rare engineering design to FightFest.

Unlike our other combatants, this robot is a full-body shell spinner. The entire external chassis rotates at immense velocity, acting simultaneously as a kinetic weapon and a defensive shield. And it just happens to look like a football too!

Forget what you know about typical robot wheels. 🛞

Patrick is back to explain why we’ve been 3D printing our wheels!

By printing our own wheels and tyres this year, the team can engineer them to be completely customisable, quicker to produce and incredibly cost-effective.

If you want to understand real-world structural integrity, look at what’s holding the new FightFest arena together. 🔩🛡️

Ed breaks down why the frame is secured using Accu stainless steel & zinc played fasteners. When 13.6kg robots collide, the immense kinetic force travels straight into the arena joints.

He also highlights a key material property: we use stainless steel because of its ability to bend under extreme shock loads rather than snap.

Ed explains the heavy-duty engineering behind the FightFest arena!

By combining a rigid steel body with high-grade polycarbonate shielding, we are creating a bulletproof environment that lets you get closer to the engineering action than ever before.

Why? Because when these robots collide, the physics is no joke.

The future isn’t just a possibility. At Accu, it’s a reality. 🦾

We’ve officially launched our Industry 5.0 initiative, integrating advanced AI that thrives on one thing: INPUT. ⚡️

We needed a solution that was upbeat, ready to help and capable of a +176% productivity boost to help us deliver high-quality components faster than ever.

We found it in a bit of 1980s Hollywood magic. 🍿

Say hello to Johnny 5: the future of Accu Components and our new "More Input" specialist. 🤖

How do you build a box capable of containing fighting robots clashing at high speeds? 🤖

Ed is taking us behind the scenes to discuss the design considerations for the brand-new FightFest arena at the NEC. It’s not just about four walls; it’s a complex engineering challenge involving.

Ed also let us in on a little secret: friends at Robo Challenge were the masterminds behind the design!
