That would be perfect, Colin. I'll just use a slightly larger ferrite bead to make the transformer. Do you require any costs? A short report and some pics for minisumo.org.uk from Robot Challenge?!? Good Luck! :D Aha! Long story there ... Basically, I booked the trip with my partner but we split up...

Needed: 38swg Enamelled Copper Wire

Hi,

I am going to make a joule thief and so I am after a few metres of 38swg enamelled copper wire to make mini transformer. I thought I would try here before I went out a brought the full reel when I only require a small amount.

Any help would be appreciated,
Sam

Peter, you are just an excellent robot builder. Do you mind me asking what you use to machine your parts? The quality is excellent.

This is a very likely but non-committed ... Yes, I will be able to attend :lol:

Two factors will affect my decision
1) Whether my robot is ready.
2) Time off work.
