Launching England flags at German cars is probably considered unsporting

Re: Randomness

No it wasn't Alex, I was driving the car and a male roboteer was the culprit sat in the back.

Take a tip from the fireworks code - never return to a robot once lit.
Pity you didnt have a pound of sausages on you - it would have been a good barbie

As far as I'm aware, he was just testing it. Nothing extreme or anything.

Re: Randomness

I got a message back from Hurricane's owner:

The sabretooths failure probably was not caused by itself, but all i can speak from is a theory on what happened as im not exactly sure on what caused it.
http://www.robowars.org/forum/viewtopic ... &start=165\
^^there are some pictures here

I believe that It happened because i didnt tighten down the battery strap enough, so that the bead of weld inside the shell (for balancing) hit it, as you can see from the small chunk missing in the strap, which caused it to impale and short out one of the a123 cells in my battery pack.
The sabretooth does have one design fault and that is that the large heatsink which it is mounted to is not isolated from the circuitboard. This of course causes problems when you have it connected to the chassis while an a123 battery pack is shorted to the chassis. This probably blew something which set the whole board on fire, which created enough heat to even melt the reciever a few centimetres away from it.

I have replacement parts currently on the way so it should be up and running soon hopefully

feel free to copy this to the FRA forum to put minds at ease

Hope this answered your questions

pretty cool design! do you guys think it would be possible to make a featherweight version? it would need some serious engineering to get right but it would be awsome possibly two linear actuators to pull the disk left/right to replace the servos on the small scale version? and would it qualify for the walker weight advantage? just wondering
