Of all the years I could have opted to have that in Scotland, it wasn't until I was halfway across the world, in Peru, before I actually tried it! Although over there, a Mars Bar is called a Milky Way. Confusing or what?!![]()
In other news, I managed to progress to some ant lifter tests tonight. It's moderately speedy and when Kiss My Asimov was wedged halfway up the flipper arm, I was able to give it a good 180° flip. Admittedly KMA only weighs 60g but I'm happy enough that the lifter will flip other robots over. It won't self-right the robot but I'm not particularly fussed about that in this version; I can't be bothered faffing around with miniature self-righting arms with such little time and experience in antweights. I'll just make sure I don't get flipped
Slightly more concerning is the continued lack of one drive motor. I've had no word from Technobots yet to say that new stock has come in and a motor has been dispatched, so if I haven't heard anything by close of business tomorrow, I'll need to think up a plan B. Might just order some servos from GiantCod tonight as back-up, as they tend to dispatch and arrive quickly.
