Yes sorry about that it did sound a bit smug. It was actually more relief, I was no where near as confident about beating DBA as I sounded. It is strange we all strive to build the perfect robot that can defend against all kinds of attack and destroy or at least beat all the opposition and yet once ...

Great event Dave which ran very smoothly and well done Simon. I never like losing especially a final but I don't think there could have been a more deserving winner. You just keep on quietly improving both your robots and driving and an AWS win was well overdue.

It is nothing personal against either Tim or DBA I want to beat everyone.

Has anyone considered how we start the robots off especially if they have spinners. I was thinking of including the receiver still so they start of under radio control and then use a spare channel to switch to autonomous on activate. This would also give a way to get them back under control if thing...

If its finished it will probably replace either antrax or suculant depending on which of those is complete.
