Thanks Chris. I managed to have a few hours in the shed today, after finishing some work on some friends computers. So I thought it was time to knock something up for the next event, and quick! So I just looked at the roll of duct tape on the bench and looked at the bits of crap on the shed floor. 1hour later, you get what's in the photo... I think with 4 rolls of duct tape for armour, it should be invincible** Twisted Evil

Micro Switch controllers 50% complete, just need to solder 3 more wires and mount them with more duct tape (shock mounting).

Yes Cool Well the duct tape binds the whole robot together. When my Spektrum Radio arrives, I'll be able to add the extra 3 wires and give it a test drive... Might add some cutting board while I'm at it...
