It was mounted with 4 bolts through the base Dave, which is why I think one of them has shorted on the circuit above inside the thing, cos the bolts weren't in when I first tested it. There was a big gap between the two, so I thought it was a fairly small risk, but obviously not. That's the only thing I think could have happened.
So you think the bolts were too long?
Makes sence and another lesson learnt ... It's a steep learning curve but we've all been there. :-(
Don't worry Dave, it'll make it into the arena! If I have to sit on top of it and turn the wheels like a wheelchair to get it moving then so be it!
less bolts, more ducktape.
just attach a tow rope to your opponents !!
The bolts weren't too long, that wasn't the problem. Ian Watts has been in touch and has said its virtually impossible for it to take out the reciever, however much it shorts out, so he believes it's a problem with the Wotty and not something I have done, especially with it working one day and not the next. So he's going to take another look at it when he's back (he's abroad) on the 7th and if it isn't a problem that I've caused, he says he'll fix it for free.
What a lovely man
It'll be cutting it a little fine for Barnsley so might not get it back in time for then, but should be all set for Whitwick, providing its a fixable problem. I will run on a controller borrowed from Craig at Barnsley if mine isn't back, and then one of the many receiver offers I've had, thank you all.
Any more news I'll move to the Anger thread in Heavyweights and stop clogging the UK Champs thread. lol.
Well more good news .... Well not for team shock ... A certain two wheeled robot may be up and running for Barnsley .... :-)
just need a driver lol
Jonno, that IS good news!
Hows Stingers wheels these days :twisted:
I'd imagine they're fairly round, if they aren't something's a bit wrong :P
