Yep, lots of vids. Give it a few days for the regulars to upload their stuff, maybe next weekend. I have a load of 90 and 120 FPS footage from my Go Pro but I am busy so it may take a while to upload.

You have 9kg left for building an indestructible brick!
Conker 3 had no magnets in it at all. I removed the 2 on the wedge after I discovered I couldn't drive at all with them and ran with just the wedge on the front.

I'd also say that massive magnet idea is a little too focused. You are never going to win a fight against other types of robot if you can't fight back, and since the spinner knows what you can do, they won't fall for it.
