hi all, it was a great event over the weekend, even though there were a lot of smoking robots. Well done to LH. (just thought id post something seems i never do lol)

fight 2, oops, link fell out before the start agains robo-challenge clusterbot.

It was moving about occasionally in the battle, only when it went near the pit. Must have had a loose connection or something.

The link was lose, as when i went to pull it out at the end of the fight when disarming the bots, it was sort of only just in, but not clicked in.

Doh. I knew we forgot something. I have a shitload of miniandersons over here, and I forgot to sell some to James.

lol. isnt that what hes using? or are they the power pole things? I will always use deans connectors now, very light, take alot of current and dont fall out lol.

[stu]

Not to turn this thread into mines better than yours thread but we used to use Deans connectors on all our feather weights, but changed to Mini Andersons as they can take more current and normaly better at holding together. Dont think James B put his in correctly as i know he was rushing to get the pay to drive bots ready, and weight - theres only about 10g in it for god sake. LOL! Oh and you can heat the andersons up more when soldering the wires to it to get a better connection, where as the deans plastic bit starts to melt and bend out of shape.
