Re: Forum updates over next few days

The recent work broke the non-standard themes that are available. Only a handful of people use these themes but I have updated them now to compatible versions. You may need to re-save your preferences and possible do a forced reload of (shift-f5 on a PC). If anyone spots any other issues, please do ...

Welcome back!!

As you can see, the forum is back online following a particularly nasty cyber attack on another site on these servers. Sorry it took a few days - I know people were concerned - but it had to be forensically cleaned. Accordingly the website has been almost entirely removed and I will rebuild it over ...

For sale: servo casings

Folks A by-product of the antweight kits I sell is that I end up with a lot of servo casings. These are basically complete standard servos just missing the control board. Everything else is there - motor, pot, gears, servo arms - just no boards. Current crop are all S3003 servos - not necessarily Fu...

It would be interesting to compare the options. I would gues...

Re: Robot Wars TV Series 2016 BBC 2

Did enjoy the first episode although was struck by how very different it is from Battlebots both in presentation and intensity. Well done all those that took part - I know all too well it's not as easy as it appears on telly.

Makes me tempted to by some lipos for Thunderpants :lol:

Re: Engineering as a career

Not sure if I really qualify for this as I trained as an electronics engineer but ended up in software development and am now an Enterprise Architect. I think in this country now the options in engineering (what discipline?) are more limited. Part of the reason I found myself in IT was that my final...

Re: AWS 50- 23rd July- Basingstoke

Unfortunately I've got to miss this one as my younger daughter is having surgery. In my place please cheer on the underdog (whomever that may be) :-)
