Well Im back from the first day.

In the first bout a bot pick-up suceeded only for me to drop it again but was then proceeded by Scorpion evo flying up the ramp and bending the claw out of shape (Im sure John will enjoy putting up the pictures in due course!). So I took the claw off for now - not worth hammering it back for a temporary fix I feel.

Ran the next battle just with the lifter and it worked well - it was a good tussle towards the end with Little Hitter and Vertigo. Ill run tommorow with just the lifter too. Ill get the machine completely finished for Farnborough next weekend - complete with claw.

Oh yes, it was 12.00kg exactly when complete - quite a shock really

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys
