Anyone know the cheapest way to send a feather over for someone else to drive? I might have a spare robot that could disappear for a few months and it would probably do well if I wasn't driving it. Just a crazy idea while I'm bored at work.

Australia Post says 15kg would cost about $250 each way by airmail.

$250 airmail is actually pretty good by comparison Rolling Eyes. The slow boat option will be much cheaper, except they usually don't deliver to an end address; you have to go to a pickup depot. Have a look at this place for a typical service: http://www.discountfreight.com.au/ . he other problem that I am most interested in solving is how to get it back for the same price; I don't want to wait 9 weeks and miss several local events.

Chad New is a great driver, and has driven other people's mailed-in robots before with good results.

It looks like it vented for some reason. Very bad video, but better than none!
