The pink unicorn was a resounding success!........ish xD
Hello again everyone!
It's been a little while since I've been able to get on but the Cheltenham Extreme Robots show which seemed so far away went extremely well!
Big thanks to my brother, my friends Jon, Nathaniel, Dave Paul, Matt Andy and Joe for getting me through the event!
Here is the build video and part 2 is the actual event in case you want to see :)

The main problem from the event was that I had two motors fry themselves and a gearbox is also toast now lol I learnt a hell of a lot about motors and gearboxes and how they fit together etc. So my question would be is there a way of having a more robust drive system then attaching the wheels directly to the gear motors? This worked well but as you can see in the video, wasn't all that strong compared to the other robots there. Would it be better to have a chain driven drive for example? Also I have been looking at the P60 gearboxes for more strength also, any thoughts? Andy mentioned Johnson 600s too?
Thanks a lot everyone as always xD
All the best
Will :)
