[fwsorg]

I dont know whether to laugh or cry. Only 2 posts above yours I said Im counting the days untill we see Even bigger daddy on the database- a mini storm 2.....
and now, 3 days later, we get a mini storm 2. Oh well, cant complain. Look forward to seeing it in March:-)

If this one aint work, nothing will

yeah, if this one doesnt work you might come down to reality and build a 2 wheel drill powered box that might actually work, and *gasp* win because of it.

Hmm, in fairness big daddy sounded not too bad, although I shall reserve comment untill I see it. I think you should concentrate on just one design tho, and battle it and improve it and re-battle it and improve it further, instead of getting too easily distracted by other designs- it seems you loose enthusiasm for your robot too quickly- you need to stick with it and work on it to make a winning design.

People forget, Ewan has been on robots wars, something some of us have not yet achieved.
He has also build numerous robots, actually built them, and faught some of them, ok they might not have been the best in the world but we have to start somewhere?
Ewan ran the spinnymaul (forget the exact name) at the RCWars event, and it was damaging, reliable, and did not break, even when being crushed by venom.

Ewan does make some silly claims on the net but go easy on him, hes as much right to post as anyone.
