While not applicable this year, BERT 133 built one in 2008 to play Overdrive. It worked really well throughout practice actually, but to meet weight they needed to replace the steel gears that did the actuating with aluminum, and the aluminum had a nasty habit of shearing mid match. I'll see if I can track down some pictures from BAE that year.
