Have had a couple of frustrating days trying to sort out motive power for our Hacky Racer. We used to have a differential taken from a mobility scooter at the rear but Andy has machined a gearbox that allows us to run twin motors, partly "because it's there" and also we broke two diffs.

We'd like to thank everyone who came to Champs at the weekend! From the incredible crowd, the really strong showing of roboteers but most importantly our amazing volunteer crew, we had the best time! Fight video will be out very soon.
