The 11+ only exists in areas where there are still selective Grammar Schools. Many areas went over to a completely comprehensive system many many years ago. For example Sussex has no grammar schools, but neighbouring Kent still does.

BTW my nephew has just passed his Oxford Uni entrance exam! 8)

Congratz Jack, now you jsut have to choose which school!

today i made a quick prototype of ValiANT
it had all the parts mounted on some art card with a lolly-pop stick lifter
it went well, it managed to flip kill-a-bye over a 3cm wall of books
going to make the proper one at the weekend

I thought this was off-topic from Robots

Maybe you should post your rest of your progress in the "New Robots" thread?
