Robot builder, mechanical engineer, cats. 75% scale. Opinions plentiful and my own. Buy my stuff?

The show cancellation is such a shame. You can easily trace who I am back to classic RW, which hooked me at 4yo. Wanting to compete drove me to gain niche skills, which lead to a direction in life. I hate that this may not be possible in the UK ever again. #BringBackRobotWars

Giant - Lego - Christmas tree. That's about everything you need to know about this huge project with @ruthamos (and kindly supported by @polymaker_3d) - Full video will hit YouTube next week! 🎥

@FitbitUK @FitbitSupport @fitbit my app stopped showing seconds on a run with the recent update. It rounds to the nearest minute, which is completely absurd. Been an issue on your forums for years. OnePlus 7T Pro and £140 of Charge 5. Is this a nonsensical feature or a bug?

I dropped out of school at 15 and was working at a high level in engineering by 19. I taught myself everything. Possible because I had enough time to learn young, and wasn't trapped into a shitty "education". Nothing should be compulsory, maths included. #MathsUntil18 #RishiSunak

Windscreen wipers should sync to the music you're playing as standard. Make it happen @elonmusk

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

What a load of bollocks. Pls @Segi_tv, sort it out! #eddievsthor

Hint hint. Hint. Hint hint hint hint.

That’s a great decision @davechannel, to resurrect a prematurely cancelled BBC show. In unrelated news I have a number of robots in my shed I would like to discuss with you.

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

@GuildOfMakers I technically haven't designed and built a new fighting robot by myself, for myself, since Autumn 2017. I'd say the true funk (work, life) started in 2019 and is finally starting to pass, so I guess, several years is the answer! #makershour Q4

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

For £73.49 including delivery within 10 days on @banggood, this @andonstar AD208s #microscope seems like pretty epic value! Big display, should capture 1080p video and takes an 18650 cell for remote use. Pays for itself with 1 dead VESC 4.12 DRV8302 chip successfully replaced! 🔬

(it's a little handwheel, to see if having a handwheel where there wasn't a handwheel before is useful)

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

Bits n bobs won't make themselves, y'know! 🔪⚪👍

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

Thanks for the mention! 😀

I love the R&D feel of #SN10. Amazing flight, but lol oops.

In England we call this things like "force majeure" and "extreme weather conditions" and "logistical nightmare". #snow

@DavidSt14862304 @TeamRapidRW They're real (it's a clusterbot) - we built them in 2019, but they've only had 2 fights...

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

Selfish reason why @BattleBots should be on UK TV: it'll increase chances for people like me to find sponsor support. Robots push the limits of #rapidprototyping, consumer hardware, industry standard tools like @SOLIDWORKS and hobbyist enterprise! ⚙️https://t.co/wJ539e0aad

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

@yamimichi @UKRobotWars Thank you! One daaay...

[Ellis Ware @PulsarRW]

Hey @angelascanlon @daraobriain! Hopefully you still have a soft spot for #RobotWars? The US equiv is still going & they're endorsing this push to show the UK wants robots back. Exposure past the hardcore fans is hard. A tweet would be big if you'd consider it! -Yer old pal Ellis
