Works very well in combat, getting easily through 3.2mm hardox with the end snapped off!
Sam, we still have your Albreit solenoid here - do you want us to send it you? Or i could drop it round when you move to Derby?

T4

I was pleased with how the weapon performed at the champs - having said that Im in the process of unrating a couple of parts which got bent :wink:

Grant, cheers Id forgotten about the solenoid, dont go to any trouble posting it, Im bound to see you at an event before I need it.

Cool Sam, you moving to Derby?

[sam_smith]

T4

Bex, yeah will be moving there in a couple of weeks. Is it true that ppl from Notts dont think much of Derby?

[bex]

T4

When I visited Derby it turned out to be bigger than I expected, some nice areas as well.

Cheers Gary, hope your new plans with Swarm and Hornet go well and best of luck at university. BTW do you plan to go to any of the winter tour shows?

T4

Sam, I am not sure about the winter tour. I have to see how things go at university. Although I am thinking about getting a job just for bot parts. Once a roboteer, always a roboteer!

If you get bored of Derby you can always visit Nottingham

Gary, thats dedication , Make the most of all the equipment in the engineering dept as well. I got extensive use of their manual machines and some cnc work done and some materials for T4 while at Lboro.

Bex, Yeah will do, groups of us from uni used to go there for the best nights out when we were bored of loughborough.

T4

not all unis allow it though sam.

the university i went to were not insured to do any work in their workshops unless it was on the lesson plans and individually risk assessed.

not letting engineering students engineer is completely stupid of course, as in my opinion workshops should be like libraries, open access to students on that course to improve their knowledge on the subject. but hey, i dont run a university so what would i know?

[bex]

T4

Is that your next challenge James? ... Run a university

[jamesb]

T4

no, be a dad
to be a good one is the biggest challenge there is apparently
