Yet another great event Simon I always like the RRC events because they are a bit less formal and a bit more varied than the WS events. That rev-counter you had was really neat not only measured the weapon speed but also the wheel speed. Variant turned out to have a weapon speed of 17000rpm and wheel speed of 1200rpm so it helps to explain why I have so much trouble controlling it that and my driving. Must replace the motors with lower speed higher power ones.

Thanx Simon, it was a great event. I'm still astounded that 1, that I had made an ant that was still being built in the morning actually worked and 2, that I had made an ant that was still being built in the morning actually worked well enough to win a match. Let alone being joint 1st in one and 3rd in two. (

)
Look out for a newly rebuilt E.B.O.G (hopefully) and a possible newcomer called Perminant (if I am able to get some time off and finally finish building it.)
