last night, the araldite on the lifter motor hardened, so i thought I'd see what it could do. :D unfortunately, it was not to be. something has gone a bit wrong.. https://youtu.be/QdWEqtVWWpA it seems like the motors are randomly pulsing back and forth. the erratic circular motion might be due to on...

you certainly had some memorable battles! the win against Valkyrie was epic, and who doesn't love a lipo scare? (well.. probably you..)

edit: vampire, not Valkyrie. should've remembered that!

was it tough having to fight two in a row? I'm not sure my nerves would've been up to that.

yep, although something made me think it may have been a bit of a fib. :p

At one point it looked as you had a spike jabbed in underneath an enemy flipper. yeah, that was exactly what I'd hoped to do. :D i like to think that if the lifters could've lifted, I'd have lifted him up at that point, and gracefully dropped him over the edge of the pit like a pro. :roll: ah well,...

Phew! Well, AWS 55 was a fun event! :D Apologies to anyone who tried engaging with me for being slightly incomrehensible and possibly seeming a bit antisocial. I started the day in a bit of a panic, and didn't really stop until I got home again. :P It didn't start well.. I'd only partially tested th...

Thanks for such a great event - we really enjoyed ourselves! It was all a bit of a blur for me, so it'll be good to see the videos.

I wanted to make a donation toward the costs, but forgot to get cash in the morning panic. Is there a way of donating via PayPal or something?

ugh.. i spoke too soon. I forgot I had to sort out the failsafe! i went to test it tonight, but I've ran into a problem with the NanoTwo V3; it's stopped working! :o It was working fine last night, but tonight it dimly flashes red once when power is supplied, and then it does nothing. I've disconnec...

I'm already using the diagonal for getting reach on the lifters, which are at 45 degrees in the box. It's no big deal - I had to rebuild the armour anyway, for extra length (for fitting the battery) and for a weight reduction.

I'm up to the really important bit, now - decorating!

bit of an update for anyone who cares (so probably just for my own benefit!).. It turned out that the weight, loose gear, and non-fitting battery weren't the only issues with Suspicious Houmous. It was also too wide! I'd forgotten that the width was a guesstimate, and one that didn't include the bol...
