Erm, bit random although bear with me. I have random stuff scattered round the house, sheets of ply, sheets of steel and ally, basically anything I see being chucked out that's a clean sheet that I know I can cut up and use. I have a half built beetle, feather and heavy, all of which look reasonable and will run should they be armoured and cabled up. We have a baby number 2 on the way and I can only realistically get to the Northern Events for the next year or so till the kids are a bit older and sleeping through etc.
I've been told I need a drastic clear-out, and that I can't keep hold of stuff when space is at a premium. I've gotten a bit stuck with what to build, what to finish, what to abandon and so on. I want to finish a heavy off and sort of concentrate on this. I like the feather's, but since the only events I can get to are heavy events with feathers on the side it seems sensible to concentrate on these? I could build a feather and a heavy I suppose as the parts are lay about, it's just a case of lugging them both to events and stuff. It's also weird because I'm not really much good at building them, but seem to be able to cobble stuff together no matter what the weight category is.
I was aiming to get on some of the events on the Northern Tour. Do people think I should get the feather and the heavy running and bring them to events, or concentrate on a heavy and finish the feather afterwards. I took a feather to Doncaster but spent the whole time wishing I had a heavy lol. Just after some general advice really about it all. My other problem is that now that friends and so on know I'm building them, they all want to come and have a drive, and it feels annoying because I'm the only one in the garage night after night getting stuff together. The team name "Skipdiving Robotics" is really my team name, and my brother, his mate, my dad, my brother in law all sort of help shift stuff and drive when they feel like it. It would be nice to sack them off and come on my own lol as I'm the only one that knows how they go together and can fix them in any sort of half-hour time frame.
Thanks for letting me rant, this just comes off the back of brother n his mate ranting at me about wanting to come to an event and robots not being ready etc. Any thoughts / oppinions more than welcome.
Cheers
Dave

) this doesn't mean you don't do robots, but you have to work out a way for you to couple the 2 things together.
