EVENT REPORT!
o2 was an awesome but tiring event! had about 1.5 hours of sleep the night before due to ridiculous weather mainly. i then had to wake up at 5am to catch a train a 6:20 to get to the o2 for 8 am. many people looked at us on the trains.
Electrik Eel 3: had many teething problems that i could adress before the event due to lack of receivers. eventually the weapon servo and flipper separated from the base. also there is too little weight at the front. just finished Electrik Eel 3.5 which should hopefully be better.
This Way Up 3! (yes, another one): unlike any other incarnations of this way up this version was an antweight (well 70 grams but too long for fleaweight cube!). it is the most fun to drive robot ever because of the combination of crazy fast servos and zero grip wheels, it slid about like a mad thing for 20 minuites before a servo broke. it managed another 20 mins on 1 wheel drive before the other servo blewi shall have to work on the reliability issues.
Flea Machine: got this going when this way up gave up the ghost. it is a flea rammer but due to having to use a larger receiver than i planned for it had invertability issues, this shall be corrected with a new 40 meg rx.
Edit: almost choked to death by trying to see how many cream eggs i could fit in my mouth, gotta love easter!
