You know, if I had the chance, I would go over there and seriously take a look at Hydra.

Long story short: I want that bot, but it doesnt look like Im gonna get it. :sad:

Went to see it yesterday and decided to rip his arm off for it. Oustanding machine, well designed and very well kept.

Would love to have it ready for Colchester, but reality had to take over. I have asked Dennis to get it to an as designed condition before collecting it so I know exactly how its supposed to be and can record it before someone smashes it up for me.

Hoping to have it ready with shiny new paintwork for Guilford and a few whiteboard fights.

Just one thing, the radio gear isnt included. I was looking at using the Fatuba 6EX with it.

The current radio gear has a buddy box for weapons operationmeaning its a two person drive.

With two weapons on the bot this seems like a good idea.

Is the buddy box a bespoke piece of kit which I need to make or is there something ready made I could buy?

I had a good look round it as one of the pre-requisites I had was that I understood the pneumatics without explanation so I dont think theres too much problem there. A lot smaller than the computer room extinguishing system Im used to dealing with but same principles. Got a sponsor () whos supplying the pneumatics and batteries for the new feather, so plenty of support on site for the price of a curry.

What would be useful is a bit of assistance on arena etiquete/safety for the first time. I am sure with a great deal going on it would be very useful for someone with a bit of experience to be in attendance. (Bit of a while of yet though)

Dont worry Andy, just ask anyone if youre not sure - no one will think youre daft because we all had to start somewhere

Adding to that Page 9 onwards of this will be useful to read as a primer:
