Rhys, I've got about 3 spare sabretooths lying about after upgrading my ants.

Are they the 5, 10 or 12 versions? How much you looking at for one of them?

5 I think, based on the fact I didn't know there were bigger ones! I thought you could just lend one for the day and I could get it back after, seen as it's just the one event.

Ah, excellent, that would be much appreciated! But it is due to go into the beetles, so there's a good chance it might get smashed....

There's always a chance anything will get smashed. How about if it still works I take it back, if its smashed, I take £20 for it. That fair by you?

Unless you tape the controller to the front of the robot I doubt there is much chance of smooshed-ness. I'd take the offer Rhys :)

That's what I thought, Haz. I wasn't that worried about it not surviving!

Well I've never competed in beetles before, so I wasn't sure just what the smooshed-ness levels were! Plus there's no guarantees that my beetle isn't just going to explode of its own accord.

But yes Dave, sounds good to me.

There's a few UK fights on YouTube now if you want an idea Rhys, but nothing seems too potent just yet.
Is it OK to bring it on the day or do you want me to post it beforehand so you can install and test?
