Is anyone traveling up either the M1 past Northampton ot the M6 past Rugby that would be willing to make a detour and pick me up from Market Harborough? Cover the extra fuel

HardWired II is almost finished now, just got to put the removable link in securely (glue EC5 into a block of HDPE, bolt into top plate) and then it's all sorted. Problem is, I'm actually en route to Birmingham now - is there any chance that the Gadget Show is open for roboteers to use the pit area as a workshop for last minute things?
Well, not a full workshop but you know what I mean, I have a feeling the hotel won't like me drilling holes in this stainless in the room haha

We've had people practically rebuild their robots at the event, so you'll be fine .

[Flag Captured]

Great, that's good to hear - thanks!
At least it'll not be the first one to need repairs on-site, especially after death-by-megabus...

Is there the opportunity to fix things post tech check too if it fails? I'm really worried about it, a lot more than I should be probably haha

[razerdave]

Yeah they give you the opportunity to fix issues if it's not up to standard.

[geeza]

Yes if its possible to do in the time available you can have a 2nd tech check. I'm sure its will only be something minor anyway.

[Flag Captured]

That's good then, there's really not a whole lot that could be wrong with it beyond the battery mount and link, though I may just be paranoid about the battery thing, it won't fall out no matter how hard I chuck the machine around...

Beauty 8 is going to be fun to drive! My first go will be in the first fight so I'll have to get up to speed pretty soon.

Hoped you liked it

Hope everybody had a good day, see you all tomorrow with no toy

Today was awesome, some real upsets and some robots taking massive damage, including Hatchet which got hit by mr mangle from behind which threw the back up and the baseplate landed on his beater which shattered the 10mm polycarb baseplate

[overkill]

Sorry 'bout that, you really had bad luck getting hit on three sides from one hit . Good rebuild though, Hatchet looks and drives almost like new again.

[mrsam]

Looked spectacular though, all credit to Dave Weston for all his help with the rebuild. Hatchet keeps getting beached so plans for tomorrow are countersink the bolts on the bottom and add an extra layer of bike tread on the wheels to hopefully sort out the clearance problem

Damage From Mr Mangle

Does anyone know how Rango performed? Did it work in the end?
