The social is centred around Conwy this year. A walled castle town on the River Conwy full of cosy pubs including one on the quayside. (The town is about 2 miles fron the Travel Inn Llandudno) All the pubs are walkable and its customary for punters to try and get a pint or two in every one before staggering home. So anyone going to the FRA meeting on the Saturday, or competing in the event could look at staying in a B+B in the town.

Are the competition rounds (well the ones to qualify for the 2005 Championship thing) happening on the Saturday or Sunday?

You can withdraw BlacknBlue from this. My IBC has broken :sad:

More than likely to be on Saturday Ewan, same with Magna, get the UKRR championship battles out the way first, also means we can use those Full on competitions to win the Denbigh Event as there all drawn from the hat at random and full on fights also.

Oh dear Rob - 2 things, what you done to your IBC. and 2nd you was never on the list coz u never signed up to your own Event via the RR site. LOL!!! (Joking i added you both on) LOL
But thats also good as we over booked on Feather Weights anyway.

Brand new IBC, Put BnB on the blocks, wired it up carefully, put a 60A meter in line with the 24v NiMH pack. Checked everything. Put the link in. Everything OK. Forward, reverse, etc on half stick, no problems. Went on full stick forward, meter showed about 6A, puff of smoke below the IBC, link then started smoking. Disconnected and removed the IBC to check, the diode under the big capacitor has gone and the PCB track underneath is damaged. :sad:The motors are the same ones Ive always had in BnB, 18v drill motors at 24v, maybe one of them has a fault?

Something very weird there as im running 4 12v drill motors on 24v and im cooking the motors and the the 2400mah RC Sub C Sanyo cells are red red hot. So im pulling over 80amps, ibc is hot but working fine. Thats very very odd Rob. Sure nothing shorting or dodgy motors? Thats very odd indeed.

Ill second that, is your IBC one of the version 1.3 batch Rob?

[stu]

9th/10th April, Roaming Robots, Denbigh

It will be the same as yours and mine Ewan.

Mr Stu

Yes its the v1.3. Ive checked the pcb track and at least its not melted. Paint burnt off though. That was the smoke I saw. Very odd. Anyway Ive had enough of wasting money and Im retiring BnB as of now.
