Roaming Robots, 11th, 12th September - Wicksteed Park

Last night we took the robot out of its box for some fresh air and noticed at one side the wheels were stiff. After closer examination we found that it was the motor. Took it apart and found that half a magnet was missing and the windings were black with a strong smell of burning :sad:

We think it was either the impact with Merlin or Storm II.

Anyone got a CIM 2 motor for sale? Our spare also has a chip out of the magnet coutousy of Iron-Awe.

it wasnt due to it bending itself, when it bent up on saturday, it was due to a head-on-head with Big Nipper (weve watched the video back and you see it bend as we hit, may also be what took there motor out, as they bounce back 4 foot!). But Thor bent it back for us on the sunday, although bent a few other places as well!

Has anyone got any video of the chompie / big nipper fight? I thoroughly enjoyed that one had to sharpen our jaws after, seemed to have gone blunt.

NOTHING on the web page www.northantsnews about the event. I will be sending the article to Jonno so he can put it on the RR page if he wants. That way you will be able to see it.
