Guildford 2015 ; Disaster ...
one of the wotty´s died even before tech check so 3 wheel drive instead of 4 , first fight Kan-opener pulled out the link in the first minute , our topplate came of so batteries and wotty´s laying on the arenafloor and last fight one of the new motors fried ...Attachment 5406Attachment 5407

Marco, Why did the motor fry?

one of the carbonbrushes came of and got stuck in the Movimotor ...

That's a shame, I was at Guildford and I thought Brutus drove well. I also liked how Thor moved, he was using the big mag motor...

Well ... after a very nice weekend in Colchester it is clear I never have to drive Brutus again ... Bram ( my youngest son ) did a much better job driving Brutus ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4&v=4Vh0z8zwop8 ) so that problem is done ...
I have to say I have to improve Brutus because 2 fights Brutus stopped because electronic problems we could have seen before ... so see you all in Maidstone ...
Just a picture of Brutus as it is at the moment ;

Welded today a replacement-piece in the bottomplate of Brutus ;
This is the result ;
