According to Rick Maas, its not the DBA we all know and fear, Tim's confused us all because he now has 3 DBA's, DBA Evo, DBA Evil and DBA (Da Black Ant), his carbon fibre pusher/lifter, and thats the one that won.

Sorry

Just a thought actually, having looked at the pic of DBA, he would have a spektrum servo on either side of the lifting scoop, just wondering how do you reverse a servo without an actual servo reverser like you can buy ?

All you have to do to reverse a servo is to reverse the connections to the motor, and reverse the connections to the ends of the feedback pot'.

I had to do this on a Naro once after they changed the way the servos worked...

You are quite right as usual Dave it was Kajuscha sorry Leo. I was really going all out to get a spinner to win again by both improving the stability of mine and entering 4 spinners and I didn't even get there. Maybe at Reading next month unless Dan has other ideas again.

Do you have a date ?
10 years together already, which is why the date of 10-05-'10 is rather appropriate. (No, not October, October has no holidays you can combine with the 3 legal "Marriage Holidays" in order to get an entire week off without having to spend any of your "regular" holidays. :wink: )

Congratulations Bebeth

Videos will be uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... 1D74993BBD and I'll pass the original DVD to Peter soon.

I'm looking forward to a repeat visit in 2013.

BTW Caroline of team EFWAH (incorrect spelling I know) has produced an excellent "How to build a Robot Wars robot booklet).
