I hope the new guys from SAC will come.

Talking of SAC, I found I recorded the video of Nom Nom Nom 'doing a barrel roll' in his fight with Hell Boy, I'll upload it shortly.

I've been doing preps for the AWS and have come across an odd problem with Divinity. Now that the wheels actually touch the floor, I try and drive with the spinner on and the spinner just spins down, and it won't spin up whilst the servos are in motion. I stop, and the disc will work again, same thing happens if I try to drive. I have servo drive robots.

It sounds like a power problem where the power drawn by the drive servo's is causing the spinner controller to shut down.
If the battery is fully charged maybe the battery is too low a capacity to provide enough power or the regulator providing the power to the servo's and receiver is coming out of regulation causing the 5v supply to fall.

Before you criticize another person, first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when you critisize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

I'll have a flea and I expect quite a few other people will a have too, they're all the rage at the moment. Will there be an FWS?

Yes, there will be an FWS. Make sure you sign up fleas too, as well as ants, to make it easier on James and Gary (Mr Waller!). There is a fleaweight option on the sign up page.

yeah there will a fleaweights competition :) EDIT: Dave beat me to it

jim, don't know how you managed to do that :-?

I think there are 58 Ants and 10 fleas that have signed up/haven't pulled out/said they are coming but not signed up yet and there's probably several last minute entries still to come...
