Hey, I never said I was building one !
If I said I was putting an ETEK into a feather someone.... somewhere would believe it :sad:
Ed

Hang on a second Ed,
I distinctly remember a conversation with you at Inspire were the subject of a LEM powered feather called Horizon came up!
Granted, you never claimed you were actually in the process of building it. But the implication was that it was on the cards. As there is also a rumour Vortex has now retired, I cant see you sitting there for too long without a feather to play with. Also, knowing what you are like for building fairly radical robots, I mealy put two and two together....!
If Im wrong, then Im sorry. But you have to admit, the circumstantial evidence is pretty damn strong!!
All joking aside, Have you a link to any info on those H5 controllers?..If they are as good as you claim the least I can do is take a look!
Take care,
Geoff
yeah pink furr..... coooooool.
stu, i want you !
jonno u sound gay stop it.
Ive also said we are building a feather (2 Actually). A flipper with a 100mm bore ram & and Axe with a 63mm bore ram. The first reaction I get from people is that€™s way over the top and they dont stop and think. The fact is it only has a stroke of 25mm and 50mm and the linkage gives it far more stroke. As Ed has just found out you mention something and people jump to their own conclusions (usually wrong), exaggerate it and tell everyone without find out the facts first. Come to think of it that€™s what€™s happening with the TV stuff. If everyone here says that it€™s not going to continue eventually more people will believe it and give up. Unless you know for sure DONT say anything about it, it will only damage the sport further and cause more people to give it up.
(Had a bad day at work)
Yeah can see Mark - but fully agree.
Maybe you should have more bad days at work?
Oww Jonno - im taken mate :sad:
Mr Stu
- Walks over to Mikeys house -
Its not a bad thing that Ed
People beleive when u say Im building a lem powered disc on a feather because if anyones got the gall to do it you have.
Like when I said I had 2 eteks for drive people thought I was lying and low and behold I turn up with 2 eteks.
Not many of us can claim we had an idea for a robot our dream bot and 4 months later there it sits exactly how we imagened it.
You thought to yourself whats my dream robot and you built it. How much it cost and how it got there is NOT the point the point is its there all we need to know is its within the rules and it works
Ive always thought of you as a guy who doesnt really care what ppl think about his robots because you know your robot will do what its supposed too. Mimicary is the greatest form of flattery just walk round the pits at Robot wars this year and see how many robots have come out like yours
heres a link to a robot like yours http://www.tantorobot.comwww.tantorobot.com I may bark like a dog of how much Tanto is better than strom 2 but lets face it its just a copy
take 5 deep breath and just breathe
and relax
Well put Craig,
I think we need to take a step back and realise that we are getting dangerously close to loosing sight of one of main reasons we all got into this crazy hobby in the first place....FUN!
Yes, I may post the odd bit here and there with the intention of provoking an on-going discusion, but it is all done in good humour and NEVER with any disrespect to people involved.(A point that seems lost on some people)
Does it really matter if Ed has or hasnt built this machine?
If he hasnt...Then good on him for starting, and mantaining, the best wind-up on everyone (me included!) I have seen in a long time!
If he has...Then he has my respect for being able to design and build something that I know I couldnt!
Either way Its not worth the stress this subject seems to be causing, so I for one will say no more on it! :sad:
No Disrespect to ED but the man is sponsered Mega Mega Mega bucks (talked to a guy who knows him very very very well). If ed wants he does not have to do anything to build his robots. All he has to do is do up a cad and get it all custom machined and it dont cost him a penny (sponsers pay it all)
Anyone who is skilled on CAD and has a sponser could build/buy (change where appropriate) a robot much easier than most of us bodgers.
