So have I; complete rebuilds of everything. I seriously need to get some decent robots going for the next AWS.

Yes another great event thanks to John and family for putting it on and providing the refreshments.
Had quit a good day except two fleas badly damaged by Ickle even though deflea soldiered on for third.
I am never going to hear the last of it when Dave sees the video with my robots repaired with gaffa tape. :oops:

*repeating my post on Facebook* You can 3D print all you like but, at the end of the day, everyone comes back to duct tape!

Reminds me of one of my favourite AWS moments, from ages ago.
Andy Hib: You've just used duct tape for everything? Where are all the screws? This isn't engineering!
*a few hours later*
Andy Hib: Um...can I borrow your duct tape?

Great event, thanks to John for organising it, but my car won't thank me for that pot-holes dirt track we had to drive up!

Some work needs doing on my crew before the AWS, nothing too severe, but Baphomets battery is the major thing (hence I was driving gingerly to avoid the battery crashing).

Well done to the winners, an to the new guys, I hope it's given you a thirst for more :).

And Dave: you can never use too much duct tape.

"Duct tape is like The Force; it had a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together"
