A bag of 10 Nanoweight motors like the one's Pete uses just arrived (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191228844233? ... EBIDX%3AIT). They're pretty easy to hack as it turns out so will probably be creating a few more Nanos in the coming weeks :L

Yeah could do; I'm unlikely to use all 10 any time soon. I'll bring some modded ones along tomorrow if you want some..

More generally I believe that should be "When life gives you Lemons, make robots" :P

Due to MiniDozer's generally poor performance and reliability at the last few events, I decided to give it another shot:

The key upgrade was speed... lots of it :P Both the drive and lifter are faster, although the trade off is less torque. The wheelbase has also been made shorter and wider to improve steering. Doesn't have much of an impact against ants anymore, but should at least be able to keep up with them now!

Here's a video of some testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtD0YhD ... e=youtu.be
