    Another Robodojo event completed and post battle analysis....
    Big" Thank you" to Ian/Alex/Keith and all concerned for putting on the event using common
    sense to keep roboteers safe from covid and Ian only needed to rebuke one roboteer a couple of
    times for encroaching into the forbidden zone ( other roboteer work space) he was really on the
    ball regarding virus protection.

    I took 3 robots to the September events with the intention of running 2 with Danger UXB as a
    spare.
    Project fear and Driller Queen were to be in the competition but when numbers of robots were
    uneven Ian asked me to run Danger UXB too.
    Project fear suffered second round wheel failure and was retired early with no points.

    Danger UXB is going from strength to strength-winning it's first battle within 30 seconds and
    having some noticeable battles with Championship Leaders Amnesia and Lunatic 2 and then
    a freebie win against Hells Angel due to absenteeism-eventually UXB suffered another burnt
    out motor (at the same side) very curious but I may have found the reason.

    Driller Queen improved remarkably since it's last event despite a wheel unscrewing in early
    rounds and the drill falling off it managed to beat Mecha sombre (another high ranking robot)
    and vettles vengence on judges decisions.

    Repairs-I have welded the drill on Driller queen so it can't fall off .

    The constant burn out of motors at one side of Danger UXB may have been due to one motor
    running faster than the other so I have changed the motor and made sure it runs at a close
    speed to the other.
