Hi guys,

Just to let you know that Robot Power, now have a new repair guy, his name is Rob, and provides a fantastic service.

I know dave is back logged with units, this is another option for you.

I sent two sidewinders to him in america, and after he recieved them, it took two days before they were ready to be sent back to me.

If anyone wants his email, let me know.

Hi just fitted a wotty 180 to St Hammer many thanks Ian, and just got the sword I promised myself for it, see you at Reading and possibly Nottingham.

I was wondering if it is possible to buy something that can fit between the Spectrum radio receiver and the speed controller to reverse the signals remotely. Because of the way the saint works it dose not have a right way up! It has made it easier to control in the past with the spectrum as this feature was a standard fit on that speed controller. The wotty dose not have this feature and with my driving I need all the help I can get!

After the 35 seconds it took to get out of the pit in Reading I€™ve decided BIGGER WHEELS are required so for the next event I hope to have the wheel dia up to just over 600mm instead of 500mm then I will see how long it takes!!!

Just an update on the St Hammer mods.

Firstly I think the sword worked very well at Reading so I think I will keep that one going. you can see it on u-tube. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=soR0W5OQBm0http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=soR0W5OQBm0

I have finished one side of the drive conversion to ½€œ pitch chain i think this should stop the reliability problems that have plagued the robots first year. the Wotty180 worked well I lost a fight when the unit cut out on overheat, Jonno won instead JAM!!!!!:sad: still with a bit of cooling I should stop that in future. I will have a chat with Ian when i see him next for advice on this.

Just a question i am looking for a steel ball about 6-8Kg for a mace type weapon I think it will fit in the rules as a tethered weapon!

I love the He-man sword craig. By far my favorite.
Looking forward to seeing it again.
If your wotty 180 is struggling then try upgrading to a 360?
Im going to be nocking up a heavy from old parts and its starting to look a little like saint hammer. Sorry in advance. But I will just say I am paying homage to you, stinger and atiller the drum.

(on my profile) New wheels for the saint old one in the front, new one behind made from UHMWPE 12mm thick, with the larger tyre they only weigh 400g more than the old wheel!
If i cant drive out of the pit with these wheels i think i might give up!
:sad:
