Happy somewhat early birthday Hokus! Hamster mechs will deliver your cake, assuming they know where the hell they're going. They've proven to be a little "special" lately.

After your cake, maybe you can help me fix them for the sale tomorrow, hah.

Brains or giant robotic suits, you can't have both :p

And thank you!

Ditto here & put BB under a pillow fort in the basement. Come on up here to Jasper some time and I'll marr the finish on yer BB for ya.

That would be me. So, where is it grounded?



...hmm....the ground...
Atm the groundy part is the most unfinished bit of my BB mod.
If one were to utilize true Macgyverness I believe an appropriately
balled up wad of aluminum foil between the aty base and back of BB's joose bay would suffice on a stock BB.
Since rewiring was in order with the 20D I routed a ground wire thru BB's original “power plate”
(DD will have to fill in the proper nomenclature) and left the wire end bare. I am planning on a more purdy setup but I wanted to see how much if any spring force was required to keep good contact. So far this has worked out perfectly, my planned on permanent solution probably won't be as effective.

Will try to get some build pix up soon if any one is interested and a maybe simpler idea, keeping BB's original batts.

Yes instructions and a simpler way would be great. Electronics is not my strength. But first off I am going to enjoy it in its purity for a while but alway nice to have options. In fact I think I will wait for Doug to make modifications for purchase. I would hate to go and really mess up something :)

My next must have after I get the bb is two extra tanks. Can't wait for them to be available.
