    Corsair's Final Voyage(r) ?

    SMASHED with golf clubs, BOILED alive, DRIVEN OVER by performance cars and COOKED in a ragu sauce... the Corsair Voyager took its licking and kept on USB-ing. Would 500 ft/sec blasts from multiple angles finally lay this product to rest?...
    Watch the show.

    Fully enjoyed each and everyone of these destruction vids - good work.

    I wonder how long it is before someone claims it was the Mesh PC at fault and not the USB stick

    Have to say that this was a lot of fun

    When you're watching - keep a look at for the bit around 2.5 minutes in... we were crying !!!

    The 'Doctor and the Medics' bit just after 5 minutes gives you a great idea of the level of punishment that was handed out on the day...

    ...and the 5:50 to 6:05 really puts the cherry on the cake


    I'd love to tell you what's next but Nick says I've been

    You caught the 'teaser' in the last 10 seconds - yes ?

    We have something 'special' planned for the next set of destructive testing

    and set a teaspoon-full alight in a small metal 'cup' on my desk at home... burnt a huge great hole and everyone was really impressed with the smoke/smell
    So, YES, I agree - NO CHANCE it would survive... but we may yet try !

    I thought cross posting wasn't allowed on here?

    How come you are allowed to post this in the Corsair, YoYoTech and Scan forums as well as here?

    Nice one

    However . . .

    Indulge me here, take a scalpel to the stick and carefully cut away the rubber caseing.
    I'd bet that the stick it's self is ok just the soilder joints on the connector have broken.
    5min with a soildering iron and see if it still works?

    Seriously ?

    OK - I'm gonna mark that down as a 'newbie' mistake

    There again - maybe I should just call it an 'Advert for my show' cos they have advertising everywhere - right ?




    The truth is that I figured once I had the .tv forum engaged on the show - that the Scan and YYT ensemble might be interested either (a) cos they want one, but were uncertain as to where to make their purchase and/or (b) they bought one already and needed a good dose of PJR*



    *PJR: Purchase Justification Reflex - needing your mates to tell you that you made the 'right buy' AFTER the money has been spent

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
    There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.

    Note: One piece of circuit definitely dislodged - contacts seem otherwise intact - however - the 'main chip bit' is at a HORRIBLE angle and does not look at all well !
