That's looking pretty dangerous, it'll be good to see what it can do it at the aws.

So after Errors better performance in AWS 53, I decided on a few changes. ^-^ So a complete chassis rebuild was in order, the newly improved error has a sleeker shape and an improved motor mount. Image Oh and glitter ! ^-^

Hey there guys Error has had a major upgrade. Ive basically rebuilt the entire bot from scratch however my weapon motor seems to be spinning the wrong way. Aside from swapping over the wires is there a way to reverse the spin using the controller. (im now using The nano V3 and a Devo 7E controller)

You'll need to swap over 2 of the brushless motor wires. The only other option is to hook the weapon esc up to a computer and adjust the firmware, which is way more hassle.

Look forward to seeing it on Saturday.
