rob, are you having a raffle? as roboteers can donate bits, that always helps getting money in.

[robjones]

Cheers. Anything appreciated, autographed t-shirts is what we were planning.

Did you advertise in one of the still adverts in a local cinema? That might be a good idea for future events...

Finished Final testing of the new feather last night and it still works! Can we add this to the feathers list?

Didnt quite realise how much shock you get to the internals. The speed controller is mounted on four rubber mounts and still a 18-pin chip flew out of its socket. Front panel flexed outwards and a wire dropped onto the disc. SMA areial socket came out, relay case came off, and worst of all the motors rotor was spinning but the shaft was not. All fixed now (hopefully)

Good news for other feathers. It was slightly over weight so we had to remove one disc.

I will bring a whole lot of spares. Do you think I will have time to build a new bot after every battle.

Tickets selling like hot cakes now, strange how people leave things til last minute.
Looks like the feather competition will be very competitive. Im still hopeful of getting Blacknblues disk working (burnt the motor out)
