Unfortunately the Agent's holed up in the proverbial embassy and won't be coming to Reading, it's four days until a large exam and I don't think I can juggle armour cutting and revision

it's basically a fleaweight parallelogram wedge.

Stack Error is Jordan's, I don't know anything else about it though as I wasn't at Aylesbury.

Stack Error was the failure of a machine that lost the majority of its fights.

Ordering parts for a second stack error that should be able to self right and right itself without the screw sticking out the front of it.

As you may have been able to tell by my pleas for R of the O related help, I have rebuilt him and he's looking fab. This he's made from lighter aluminium which means a larger battery and no more twiching. The new battery and the slightly larger wheels mean he is a lot faster (but not too much faster), has as much torque as before and still has the incredible amount of grip as before. Hope to put some pics up soon.

Just doing a rebuild of Defiant. It burnt out a motor at Reading and is really starting to show signs of wear and tear so I have designed a new board/chassis and bought 4 50:1 HPs . The board is not yet built but I have just screwed on the side brackets and motors , and layed in the receiver and battery to see everything fits. I have just obtained some 0.05mm titanium shim from eastern europe to try and improve the scoop.
