Re: Coping with the demand (An EO's perspective)
I wouldn't mind donating. £5 per robot seems cheap to me, considering the amount of work and money you guys have to spend on helping us to have fun. The 2+1 rule sounds good, as it'll get people thinking about what to enter, rather than just making bots to fill their quota. As a sort-of northerner (...

Re: Team BLEEP build diary
progress report: naff all! So, I thought I had lots of time to plan the next bot. I made a 4-bar flipper design that rocks, and I intended to field it for AWS 58, but I felt like a rest, so didn't build it straight away... Then my wife got a job in Leeds, and so we need to move house before Septembe...

Re: Antweight World Series 58 - 29th June 2019
i'd forgotten i'd registered!
hopefully i can convince the wife to let me escape, but if I have to drop out, should i remove my bots from antlog?
edit: can't make it, so bots removed.

Re: Antweight World Series 58 - 29th June 2019
Haven't been on here much or able to do any new bots or anything due to moving house Must be summat in the air! I've also had to put a lot of bot plans on the backburner due to needing to move house. Unfortunately, we're in the searching phase, and every weekend is vital, so I don't think I'm gonna...

Re: Team Pushover's Ants Build Log.
weirdly, i did the same thing to a dasmikro, and it survived!
and then it survived normal polarity, which is just as risky.

Re: Dual motor Axe bot
GeorgeR's axebot is dual motor - there are pics in his build diary, so you can see how he did it. Using two motors means that they'll fight each other a little bit, so they have to be well secured. You also have to consider the torque reaction of the axe, as it's possible to make an axebot that flip...

Re: Team BLEEP build diary
ooh - actual damage? :D that was probably the other axebot, then. :P i did enjoy ramming stolen concept right in the gubbins with sprouting potato. even though it didn't achieve much, i think it was my favourite moment, as i just really wanted to ram a spinner to see what happens. :) the side armour...

Re: "What it says on the tin" N20s / Far from tacky tacho
The only ones I bought from ebay were rubbish, so I never did that again. The rest came from either hobbyking or pimoroni, and were all as advertised. As they all look about the same, I labelled my motors using little bits of sticky label (the stuff for sticking printed addresses to envelopes) with ...

Re: Botfest 2 (23rd March 2019)
I bet that means all the fights where I don't just drive into the pit are missing. Did you get the rumble on video?
I too really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the next one. It so nice to have a relaxed competition where everyone's just there to have fun.
