Metatron is my featherweight robot that Mark likes driving, and Zack likes breaking!
But if you mean the name.

Metatron is one of the most powerful Angels in heaven above an archangel, the quick history
Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. €”Genesis 5:24 NIV.
Enoch was one of the few men who never saw death.
This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning, his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly transformation the name Metatron.
It follows the Saint theme.

The event is but the summer party is on the saturday.

Speaking of which, can anyine pick me up from Guildford train station on the saturday ? It worked out cheaper to go to guildford on a train than the car (stupid petrol prices)

Shame we wont be out on Saturday but Ive just finished another major mod on Hydra (new Roboteq controller) which has taken an age and involved taking eveything out and putting it back in.

Need Saturday just to do some final adjustments and get eveything ready to go. Just having a problem getting the trims absolutely perfect, but may be ok anyway when they get some weight on them because its only very slight twitches happening.

Need to fire the weapons too just to make sure they are all connected up right.

good controller you have there andy. should serve you well. if you set the trims it should cure the twitches

Ive tried setting the trims and got them as good as. Maybe its just me wanting it to sit there with no movement whatsoever on a stand. The amount of movement I am talking about is enough for it to take 2hours for it to get across the arena and with enough power that you can stop it with your hand. As I say, maybe that with 100kg sat on top of it it just isnt an issue. That said a quick hand to sort it out on Sunday wouldnt go amiss.

I seem to remember you can increase the deadband on the Roboteq to stop it twitching.

WOW! For the second time today I might have to resort to ...(god forbid)...reading the instructions!
