The Epic doesn't look much use to an amateur hobbyist - perhaps I am missing something???!<BR>
<BR>
I am definitely interested in anything cheap, safe, and easily obtainable (or build-able) that doesn't require much grunt to initiate. My solution at present draws a lot of current (albiet for less than a second) from a SLA battery.<BR>

I have been thinking it would be cool to do some fireworks bots for November the fifth. If anyone is interested then start building and show us your progress: Personally I am inspired by seeing what others build, and building stuff myself, more than talking about what could be done!!! Perhaps even some sort of battle bots -- it only takes two bots to battle! I would like to finish mine in the next three weeks so I am in a hurry - I am away to Europe for a while before Guy Fawkes.<BR>

Cheers<BR>
