I have all the videos finished, but the encoder is trashed, probably have to re-install it again

Mine is finished also!
The following is a highlights video - basically i cut out all the boring bits (of which there were many) and still included all the meat. Apologies if any of you feel as though you were short changed by my editing - its possible that i didnt capture everything on film in the first place.

Hi guys,
It turns out that most of the waterjetting I just had done is useless, partly their fault, partly my poor drawings. I just had to cancel Robogames and I'm so pissed off and depressed that I decided to take a complete break from Robots for 3 to 6 months
I won't be coming to the events for a while and you should probably elect a new club president too. I will be looking in on the forum from time to time, but the bots are all on hold for now - I can't even walk into the workshop just now!
Cheers, Nick

Shit >_<
Robots should be fun, it is a hobby after all. If it is anything but enjoyable, there's pretty much 0 reason to do it. I had a mini version of your anger at robowars, with my 'reliable' brick bot failing in every concievable way. I'm enjoying the small ones, and won't be doing large ones anytime soon till I get motivated in them again. There's no reason you can't keep using massive, and just leave the featherweight stuff till you want to touch it again. Can imagine how let down you must feel though _________________ ( •_•)

wasnt scissorhands pretty much finished last event and most of this stuff was mods and such.
Hope things get better soon man. Taking time off every now and then is good to take stock of things.

If a "maximum effort" by all the builders would get you ready in time I know we are up for it. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets
