Really wish i had gone electric, i'm aching all over and hands are covered in blisters!!! Well done to all the roboteers that took part, roboteers walked away with the Indoor and Outdoor 1st place throphies! Well done the to the Nipper guys for coming fourth and winning the 'Best Engineered' award. Thanks to them as well for their help with running mine.
Mine didn't run too badquickest run was about 8.9 seconds and made the to the top 10 shoot-out, think i finished arounf 6th or 7th place overall. Had a few issues, one of the engines is down on compression, and i managed to melt the front wheel and brakes on the last but one run, meaning the final run was done with a warped wheel and no brakes! Will change the gearing for next year and give the engines a full service.
