I design and install computer networks for a living and have these two tool bags that follow me everywhere with work and fixing families computers and laptops etc. So I thought well rather than try and dissect what I think I'll need I'll just lob both bag...

Re: AWS 45 - Coventry - 1st November 2014
Is it wrong I have two toolbags, and a placky crate with all my gear in? Not to mention extension cable and drill? I feel as though we need to geek out over each other's toolboxes and or "mound" of stuff ready for car loading in the morning lol.

I’ve been using one of the robotwars101 kits so the motors plug directly into the receiver via servo boards and the battery pack comes through a switch harness and through a 2 pin plug into another of the receiver channels to supply power.
