Re: Volunteers for filming at Smallpiece

Olly,

May I ask which day(s) you plan to come down (just so we can work out how to fit it around the schedule)

I'm also happy to help out with this endeavour but am likely to be rather busy.

Thanks,
Andy

A 180 & 360 servo, a couple of DC motors (one big one small) & an encoder. A working powerboard, motor board, and servo board, so that they can be programmed

My plan was to attend all the days, space out the videos, learn a little python, and crash at someones house in the evening/hotel.
