Its really drivable Peter, or as drivable as the 4WD one. The middle 2 wheels run slightly faster than the outer 4, which I think helps with the rate of spin, though more by accident than design.

Dan, the expanding one will be running as a cluster, so the last one could be anything.

Not sure I'll be doing a flea. I think Green OPS might still be running so might bring it. And the nano too.

I dunno, could be a spinner killer; If bad idea came up against that it's probably take a chunk out and jam up the blade... once the blade stops moving it's a sitting duck :P

Is it a good time to mention that the yellow tops on both machines are cardboard...?

Cardboard is an annoyingly effective armour against spinners :P

I was going to leave them armour less but I think there's something psychological about covering the internals, however inadequately, for both me and my opposition. Plus I needed to use the yellow paint I bought :-p
