Just wanted to vent thoughts, as I said I would be at events and haven't been. I've spent the summer getting baby number 2 here ok, and finishing a degree I've been doing part time. It's been a busy year and summer, but baby is here and I got a 2-1 FTW. I've now turned my attention back to robots after half heartedly abandoning things for six months but I suppose that's how it goes sometimes.

On the robot front I've built a feather called ruSt which is literally waiting for a competition oop norf. I have ordered an ant kit and have some pictures above. I'm waiting for some more stuff and am going to have an ant up and running before long. I've also been having different attempts at a heavy, and so far nothing has been successful. I was on the verge of selling up and admitting that the heavy class just wasn't for me, when my dad came through and has sorted out a box section and angle frame for me. The heavy will still be crude, (I imagine an invertible brick) but will run ok and be up to weight. The heavyweight class is where I aspire to be, so I'm planning on getting an ant running for my 5 yr old, doing some bits with the feather, and concentrating over winter on the heavy to get it to events in the new year.

I have running gear, sla's, tx and rx and charging stuff all put to one side. I'm making a link and LED this week with a wiring harness and so will just need to get the ESC together although I have an idea of what I'm going to do with that. People will tell me it won't work so want to try it first before I announce it. Thank you for reading, and I appreciate all the help I've been getting and for the patience everyone has with me and my daft questions.
