I still need to work out a setting on my camera that produces good results when taking pictures of robots through the arena polycarb. Its a fancy enough camera to have one I think - just need to search for it

Its 4wd. The selfrighter is being made, but there wasnt time to get it finished for this event. The self righting arm is made, and dave has the gears. We had the disc spinning upto about 700+ Rpm and it drove lovely, but then one of the speedos went. 2 new 120A ones will be on their way soon so it wont be long before its spinning again. Dave drove it into a big plastic box at that speed and sent it flying - the disc didnt slow down at all, so im hoping it does that in the arena too!! but at 3500+ rpm

it looks cool thats for sure, its just a shame you guys dont do more events so we get see it working !!!

next outing is prob in 5months i hope, its 4wd as g-boy said, 2 front wheels are mega grippy (those over priced whyachi things) and the back ones are pretty slippy, so it grips well and holds a straight line but the body slides ouround the disc when it turns. The front wheel axles are inline with disc axle (near enough). similar principal to razer....sgud!
