cancelled to make room for new shows? endless reruns of cookery travelogue programmes, more like.

Forgive me, forummers, it has been flippin ages since my last confession.. :P I'd like to say that I've built an amazing bot that's sure to win in every fight, but I can't say that because I haven't even made armour, or a card mockup, or a definitive drawing.. My lack of progress is mainly down to i...

I've always preferred print to digital. I dunno why.. i just find it an easier read.

Thanks from me, also. For some reason, I never thought to turn the transmitter on first. d'oh!

that is awesome! lucky kids.

well, I'm a noob with a different servo, different esc, and a different tx/rc. plus i don't know why it moves, so I'm unlikely to shed any light.. :P my servo moves twice; once on powering up, to a random anticlockwise position, then again when the tx is turned on, to a set position. it's always the...
