Three Sussex electronics enthusiasts have built a machine to take part in the BBC show Robot Wars.
Shane Howard, 34, Brian Fountain, 34, and Darryl Howard, ten, all from Hastings, hope their creation Gemini will win the series.
It weighs 250kg and has a pneumatic flipper.
Robot Wars is on BBC2 at 6.45pm on Friday.
