I think ur coming round to mine today i'll lend u one
I'm a bit busy at the moment so I dont know if I have enough time and I think I will be ok because I think i know were the Rx battery is :?
Sadly Vortex isn't going to make it - despite investing a load in getting the robot back up and running (LiPo's, new mag, new disk, new armour, new speedo, new motors, new brass gears, new TX/RX.... new lots come to think about it), it's the old bit that's been giving the issue.
We had a problem with our LiPo's not charging which we've resolved now (loose connection when the pack was manufactured - thanks Flightpower!) but that meant we were able to confidently test the robot with a fully charged pack. Having now tested it the speed controller that runs the Vortex disk isn't a happy bunny, not sure if the LiPo voltage is sagging (though I don't believe so) or a problem with the speedo itself (although it works fine connected to an SLA/NiCad) but the disk just isn't spinning up to speed as you'd expect - and as Vortex is nothing without it's disk, there's sadly little point in entering it.
I may see if I can rig up something else to control the disk, and may try to come on Sunday for a whiteboard or two if anyone's up for it - but sadly Vortex won't be running tomorrow, and no-one's more frustrated than me. Small fortune spent on parts and hotels, and no functioning robot to run :(
Thats actually a real shame Ed, was looking forward to the fight. If I get through to Sunday, will give you a whiteboard.
Shame Ed, was looking forward to the LS4 - Bitza - Vortex mashup!
Take back what I said before PJ, looks like your on your own!
Ed, if your not going to use those brass gears, or fancy ordering me a set from wherever you get them from, let me know how much and ill give you the cash Sunday.
