Hopefully we can have a fight with the robot spinning properly at the next competition.

After a first competition, terrorising sheffield uni with a spinner, it is clear that a switch is needed. So much re- soldering has been needed after pulling off wires, and before one fight, shorting a lipo. I burnt myself twice in a few minutes, first on a shorted lipo, trying to remove the disc an...

With my spinner I have to fit the battery in between the receiver and speed controller, and tape them back to stop th...
