Haha you know I laughed all the way back to the shed after crashing it!
I was just happy that it went as good as it did to be honest.
After all it was just a test to see how the motor performed, and while it was running really badly it was still planty of power there.
And this setup was geared at 5:1!!!!!!
I remember watching Robot Wars years ago and see these guys bring in their robots they'd spent months working on, only to have them annihilated by the house robots straight away, and they were laughing their heads off and cheering and said it was all worth it.
Now I understand why they acted like that.
It's not about the driving.
It's about building and creating and getting 5 minutes of fun out of it and then build it again but bigger better and stronger.
