I need help on;
Building a proper frame for "Evil E" Using polycarp and steel.
Possibly may want to upgrade to drill motor controls (I'm finding micro switches far too dodgy and unreliable. They ARE from jaycar though 'cause dicksmith didn't have any. They keep jamming in the ON position, and, seeing as I don't have a failsafe, I have to stop the bot with my foot. Not very fun when you don't have any shoes on!)
Secure the red wheels properly.
Also, I need help on how to solder properly. I can only seem to make blobs and spikes of solder, which do no good but short the micro-switches.
Anything else?
Just double-checking with my parents, but this sat seems fine. But if more people can come on sun then I'll come then instead. (whatever is easier.)
SIDE NOTE: I have paid for my v-tail mixer and it should be arriving in the post anytime now. _________________ ( •_•)

So is it Sunday now?
Please decide and let me know definitely by Friday night!
Angus, I have your wheel problem fixed with my new Fantabulous invention!
We`ll have to have a look at what youv`e done with the micro switches and can let you have one of the drill controlers ( just needs a servo to go in it) but it will be good to have the micro switch controler as a back up.
i don`t have heaps of aluminium, have polycarb and plywood, we should be able to get something together, at least to get you started.
And don`t worry, I`m an expert at "blob solder!"

i have a great solution to dates
1) all build days on sundays
2) all events satdays
lol if you look at any ones bot you will probably find atleast one blob solder join somewhere and at the moment does your bot run on the table cause if it does it will take about 5 min to get some armor and give you a test run in the arena _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

OK, so...
It's this Sunday, I will be arraving at around 11am and will bring my testbot, with some of my tools, powerboard for drill chargers, my precious hammer-drill (my drill of choice!) and I will be happy to bring along a bit of money (not that I have alot) for exchange of goods and services.
Also, heres what my bot looks like;

Angus, are you coming by train? if so have you arranged a pic up from the station yet?
You really don`t need to lug "everything" along. We have drills and I have battery chargers already set up. I can have a load of XU1 bats. charged for you to use.
Looks like we`ll have to make up motor mounts as the way you have set up at the mo doesn`t give much support and hanging the wheels way outside makes a tasty target for spinners! Easy fixed
If you havn`t got your mixer yet we can borrow Refbots to try out.
So who else is coming over?
