Danjir, I believe there's a ORX in my toolkit if needs be.
Tony, I've only got a standard bottle. Want me to bring it?

If thats ok, that would be brilliant! ive found an ebay seller whos only 30 mins away so hopefully i can collect the bits tomorrow during my lunchbreak to save you the trouble but i will let you know! Cheers

Thanks Ceri, but I've got a load of standard bottles, needs to be a bit shorter and thinner than standard . It's only be the slightest margin too, very annoying. If no one has one ill bring the robot along anyway and see if anyone else can shoehorn it in there.

That's so cool. My only hope is to gum up the blade with my wheels :P

Also, my robot is suffering from some idiot related problems, so I doubt the weapon will be running.

[Danjr1]

people that are using orange receivers, what models are you using?

[PJ-27]

We're using the 6ch ones, but failsafing is a bit of a black art. Technically these only failsafe on the throttle channel but sometimes you get lucky with the ESCs noticing no signal and returning to idle position.

[harry hills]

Not quite Ironconkers standard, but still. It actually spins. I mean it broke, but it did spin.

cheers.

I have some how managed to cook the 50V 80A Solid state relay that activates Conker's weapon.

Is there anyone that has one of these spare...

Or who is based around bristol/somerset that could go and buy a replacement/s?

I am competing on Saturday.

EDIT: Panic over! Have alternatives and replacement

[PJ-27]

I may have missed it in the tech doc but any more details on where we go on arrival?

Which car park should be head to, or which security gate to find out where to go for loading passes?
Thanks.

So does this pass Tec Check?
