Web site resurrected

A few years ago some friends and I planned to build a battling robot to enter into the UK's Robot Wars TV series. Unfortunately, the series was cancelled before we had the chance to complete it.

Later, when another TV series, TechnoGames, sais they would introduce walking biped robots in the next series, I started to build one of those. Amazingly, that series was also cancelled and the walking biped events never took place.
My project was shelved because I had too many other things to do.

At the time, we set up a website, Robot Assassin, showing our experiments and development of our robots.

I am now going to resurrect the Robot Assassin site as a "Niche Content" or "Article" site, to use Internet Marketing speak.
It's going to be an experiment to see whether niche sites really can earn money from Adsense and other Affiliate programs. It will also serve to demonstrate whether having regularly updated content really does give you a high rank in Google.

Finally, it is also a means of furthering my knowledge of the PHP scripting language.

There's nothing on the site yet - I only just switched the DNS to my new host, so it will take a few hours to get up and running. I also need to design the new style and put together some content before it goes live.

I plan to set up a robotics forum, so if you're interested, why not bookmark the site and come back later.
