Re: Epic Robotics

The central section of the new Void is complete. Unfortunately, I won't be bringing this to the AWS; it's quite heavy at the moment, and while I could probably get the side pods completed in time, I'd have to dismantle quite a bit to get to the areas where I need to save weight, and I don't have eno...

Cheap components for an antweight class

Hi All, We've just had a new "FabLab" open up in Coventry, and I've been in talks with the owners to run an antweight building class one day over the summer. The intent would be that people pay a fee, build a robot during the day, have a small competition with them at the end of the day, a...

Do you want access to stream it on twitch.tv/antweightworldseries Will? Seems to make sense to try to consolidate our streams onto one channel :).

Engineering as a career

Hi guys, Long story short, I'm pretty fed up of IT, and desperately want a career change. Engineering has always been a passion of mine (as evidenced from the fact that I do this hobby!), and I would have probably ended up going into it after school if the educational system hadn't entirely failed m...

Re: The smart ant's and flea's

Very impressive! The gyro and accelerometer functions look very interesting indeed. What's the specs of the motor drivers? Think you might sell them with a receiver pre-attached? Can the pins on the underside be easily removed to save space?

Re: June 4 2016 - The Oxford Games, Carterton

I'm afraid I won't be able to attend, as I already have plans for that weekend. I know you had issues, but announcing the date for something like this two weeks in advance is frankly untenable. I'm sure I won't be the only one who either won't have time to prepare or will already have plans. It sure...

Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

This material sounds incredible! I look forward to seeing how it holds up in combat.

Can you dye it after printing, or does it need to be before?
