Thanks Colin. The last major drive is to EXR Maidstone but that is not for a while yet. Got Marlow for the BW Championship the weekend before as well but thankfully not going solo to that. I'll have to see if I can get the time to go to Dojo again, might even be able to compete next time :P

After BotFest 3, it is the big move to get everything into the new shell. I've also decided to completely rebuild and redesign the axe mechanism and Scythe after what happened at Bolton and Colchester. Taking the gears to MOD 2 and when I looked at it, the ratio I can get to is something in the region of 20/24:1. That with the A28-150 motor, which is 3HP at peak should translate into a more "effective in theory" mechanism.

The Scythe will have a new shaft which will move the pivot point a little further up the shaft to permit a counterweight and reduce a little bit of stress in lifting the 3.5kg axe head.
