When your killer robot thinks forward is backwards, you have to think fast
In episode 4 of Robot Wars’ latest series, a team captain finds himself in a bit of bother when a last-minute repair goes wrong.
Luckily the lads from Falkirk come up with a novel solution.
We’ve fixed it. Except it’s wired up wrong.
If you press forwards on the transmitter, it actually goes backwards.
How can we drive it then?
I’ll just to flip the transmitter and drive it like that, upside down, because then that’s the right way.
Sorted.
