Well at the moment you have no Pants on at all, that's something very wrong if you do that in public.

I'm still having problems with Inersiant. So far I have shortened everything that can be shortened and drilled everything that can be drilled (I've reached about 150 holes so far) and it is still 156g. Any suggestions please because I may find myself overweight by the event.

Hi Christopher nice to see you are back again.
Difficult to come up with suggestions without knowing the construction only suggestions are bigger holes or a smaller battery if you have one.

Just to clarify, what time should we get there, and what time does it end?

The bodywork and chasiss is 1mm HDPE so it will take a whole lot of material to loose 6g. Also the batteries I am using are 17g Ni-MH 5 cells 120mah at 6v. I cannot get another battery in time and I am running two inertia labs 50:1 motors and a cirrus 5g servo. I could try and remove two of the cells, but I don't want to risk draining the batteries in the middle of a fight.

Reducing the amount of cells will be at 4,8V and still 120mAh.

Voltage = Fast/stronger the bot go
Ampere = The longer the bot can go

So you will only have less power during a fight, not draining the battery quicker.
