RobotWars101

I have literally just finished building, hehe...the superglue is drying and hopefully the new Jigsaw should perform well on the day as I finally have full control over one of my robots :P Really looking forward to this, especially meeting all the people I haven't yet met :) (I apologise in advance f...

That sucks Joacim, I hope you do manage to get over for the event :S

Jack, I might well end up asking for your number cause I've lost the bit of paper from RFRC some directions from Richmond railway station might be of use too.

Just signed up and booked tickets myself, looking forward to seeing everyone there (Will, if you are bringing Shockwave I'd be interested in looking inside it as well ) and just have to build Jigsaw again...

I don't know if I'll be able to cobble together more than Jigsaw Puzzle and LYT to be honest I've got a fair few spare lipos and just obtained a new lipo charger as well, so I'll bring along all those.

Firstly weclome to the forum Andy :) I used disc shaped servo horns as the wheels themselves for Little Yellow Taxi, albeit with an O ring glued around the edge to increase the grip...the HPXs don't seem to come with these as standard but a quick check with some horns for smaller servos confirms the...
