In all honosty, yes it was. And with 700 grams to spare we should have taken the precaution to at least cover the motors a bit. Live and learn.

Has anyone got some vids of the XFM event online?

And he still won

after the battery pack broke, need to look at that also, shame you threw yourself out the arena in the final or you might just have won that as well, but well done to the flipper that did win (My memory is blank and cant rember its name).

It was Skink, and as the last robot in the arena a deserved winner and grand champion.

Its not easy to award a win to the robot that launched itself out of the arena Leo !

Plus its lucky the roof is almost 5m high or I think youd have bounced off it !

Ive been talking to Ian Watts and the biggest problem will be unsoldering and soldering the new HIP chip back in place! Need a couple of FETs, couple of resistors and the controller chip. it wont cost much more than Â£20 (I hope) to get it running again

Big thanks to Ian Watts for all his help.
Hannibalito was great fun to watch
