Right im planning my layout abit better now and im leaving 150 x 100 blank spaces for the motors as i dont know there sizes yet but then i got abit of a prob with the spacing for the compressor and pneumatics. only way i can think of doing it if putting the reciever speedo and batterys all to one side but would this give me a big prob with interfearance? im drawing up another layout tonight to see what i can do but the compressor + tank takes up loads of room. plus im still unsure about the rules with this compressor system so i might abandon that idea in the future.
got 2 green led cooler master fans and 1 purple led cooler master fan out of my pc today. down to 7 fans in my pc now hope it dont get warm

If you add all of the above to the online cart you can find out! http://www.gimsonrobotics.com/shop_products.htmlhttp://www.gimsonrobotics.com/shop_products.html

At an estimate itd be about £80 to put together a similar set-up including weapon speed controller (assuming youve got the tools to cut the disc and mounts required). Most of the parts I used were recycled from previous projects though.

I should imagine its probably the new swathe of protection for credit/debit cards that my payment gateway is enforcing.
