In testing before programming tx my weapons linear actuAtor blew up after jamming.
Pulled apart two chairs and neither fit, I'm out of options and not enough time to make a drill threaded rid replacement.
Scrap my entry and hope everybody has a great time.
I worked so hard on this machine and was so close. The last two weeks everything possible was thrown at me preventing me from getting it done. I was so damn close. I'm shattered and so upset. I wanted to get in one last event at least.
I'm so sorry. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

See you at the event I am just running the lights so if you need extra pit crew to keep the bot running, I'd be happy to help. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

No Problem - will pack the van with all the good stuff. Might as well throw the MIG welder in there too. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Rivnuts sound good, what size do you have? I've been looking for a way to keep my battery compartment lid closed I hope they work well in 3mm polycarbonate

I have a kit with all sizes M3-M8. Not sure if they have a long enough throat for 3mm material though. We can try.
