I don't think pushing a stick forwards on a Spektrum requires a great amount of skill, hand eye co-ordination really isn't necessary, and I'll prove this:

My hand-eye co-ordination is terrible. I can't catch. However, trying to be as humble as possible, I'd say my driving is good (and feel free to upgrade that to fantastic :P)

I reckon it's more just about practice and experience

its kind of disapointing that the god awful spinner knocked up in a day wins more fights than deodorant
TBH that's because a flipper is much harder to drive

Learn to drive and they will be better :P

yeah my driving is sh**e, ill be the first to admit it i need to practice much more but have no where/no one to fight against
i am using a SPEED CONTROLER deodorant hasnt run off servo boards since july, it uses a pete waller board

btw deodorant the better robot? really? a win for me then
Ohhh...

Just keep practising then :P

And Deodorant isn't a bad robot at all, on the other hand, your spinner is appalling, (I wouldn't build another) :P
I would seriously recommend re-joining the anti-spinner brigade

Right..... Looks like you could do with a tiny bit of advice:

Most evidently in your fight against ROTO, you lost because of driving (and I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible :P), because obviously deodorant was the better robot
I would suggest putting a SPEED CONTROLLER in it, yes that's right Haz, a SPEED CONTROLLER, the thing that controls speed unlike your servo boards do :P

Reasoning is that it is very hard to drive without one. Newbie drivers put their robot in the arena and full forward constantly. As you get more experienced, you go against that, (incase you've never noticed, I only briefly drive Spark, Explosion or Eruption at full speed in a fight). Driving is all about manoeuvring, lowering speed when you drive around objects like the pit and floor flipper, not full forward into walls.

As much of a daunting concept as this might sound to you :P,  I think that this may be your way forward, because bar the servo boards, your robots aren't that bad at all.

Looks pretty good, though. I reckon if it was all in rust, it would look excellent. But that's just me, I gave Vertigo the same advice and was resoundly ignored. I think the scrawled "SMASH" should probably stay, though, gives it a certain edginess.
Well Annihilation's back to looking battered now, if that pleases you :P
