If you pay for 'em you can have 'em :P Nah I'm gonna try them out and see what they're like. I bought a solid state RC switch from the same seller to use as a trigger for the bigger relay controlling the Speed 900 in Drumroll but I think I don't think it was designed to be connected the way I needed...

I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts :) My thinking behind Robert Lleweylln was that he has an interest in techy stuff and a background presenting it, is a 'big' enough name and has an energetic style. Alternatively having Richard Hammond would be cool, but I'm not sure ...

I think the games should be brought back. Watching Series 1 and 2 on Youtube recently made me realise just how much it had changed. It felt more like a game show in the early days (small things like Phillippa standing on the pendulum while explaining how each round worked etc) whereas the latter ser...
