Can anybody give a lift to a featherweight from Pontefract to Sheffield?
I'm buying Daiske for a local charity. Local to me is Cornwall, Daiske's current home is Glasgow.
We've got most of the journey sorted but need this last link.

Anybody help?

I've just dismantled one of them for the receiver as I only have two and it may be difficult to control 3 ants with 2 remotes, so I'm using it as spares etc
So I have a free slot if anyone wishes to add me as their driver on a cluster bot, i may be new but I'll have a good try at it :)

Why can't you control 3 ants with one remote? I run all four of my ants with one remote...

Ah, I see. Well, I have a couple of spare recievers, so you could build a third and borrow one for the AWS if you want? Would have to incorporate it on the day, but that wouldn't be a problem.

Well I've just burnt out one of my servos I was using for drive so I'm just going to keep it as spares for now, plus it means I can go all day as each battery takes 20mins to charge and they last 30mins so I shouldn't have a problem now :)
My second bot is running off lipos and I have 3 or 4 lips so I'm all good with two :)
