Andre and I will be going with our three robots, but on Sunday only.

This was a great event with large crowds and lots of interest. The only problem is letting the youngsters drive the robots almost continuously for two days takes a lot out of them and I have about four to repair. Thanks to Razordave, Socrates and Andre for all the help. I didn't actually have time to go round the Space centre to have a look so maybe next time.

Despite the need for regular charging, I'm amazed that Stewie and BH survived the whole weekend with no problems. The only problem I had was BH's tyres coming off and Stewie's flipper bending, which I'll be fixing shortly

Good event, got my feather a bit bashed up

Wasn't quite as bad as I thought two were just low batteries it seems the one I replaced them with must have been flat as well must get better organised or remember to take my meter. Combatant had the screws holding the gearbox to the motor strip and variant had a blown motor driver. All fixed and ready to go.

good to hear your bots are up and running again. Stewie and BH are still good as new, although I think some new tyre for BH may be in order, as well as a scalpel blade for the axe, instead of that blunt one I use for demonstrations
