Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

With the 21st of June coming, I would have liked to have said "yes, its going ahead on the 26th" with some relative certainty but with the situation in the UK as is at the moment, I am waiting to see what the government says first before committing to this. Assuming that the 21st goes ahea...

Re: Questions about LEDs and the OrangeRX R610V2

If I was to install a LED, I would put it after the switch before the ESC in pararell. For example, from when I built my first AW: http://teamkaizen.ocracoke.org.uk/images/sample_wiring_loom_aw.jpg As for the voltage, I think the one in that photo had a resistor built into it so it'd handle 6V (I am...

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

Outdoors you can have up to 30 in Wales but 6 indoors I think. I did consider taking the event into Wales and rent somewhere outdoors but I don't know anywhere and rather not risk the weather.

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

So the recent law change has pretty much made running BotFest 4 impossible to do in its current form. The exemption around team sports only applies if the governing body has submitted a plan to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (the DCMS) and it is subsequently listed on the pag...

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

At the AW level, I agree it is normally 1v1 but as a general thing, fighting robotics is a team sport. The terminology used throughout (certainly for BotFest and AntLog) is that robots are assigned to teams and that team may consist of one or more persons.

I'll be posting later on tonight.

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

I am waiting to see the official update from the Government on this and the actual law bill being passed before making a call on this. As a "organised team sport", it is a grey area at the moment.

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

Please find attached the group draws, please tell me if you have two or more robots in the same group but I don't think that is the case here. http://teamkaizen.ocracoke.org.uk/botfest/Screenshot_2020-08-27_11-54-10.png As previous events, it will be a "everyone fights everyone 1v1" in tha...

Re: BotFest 4 (25th April 2020)

The two extra slots have been filled. I'll sort out the draw later on, there will be 8 groups rather than 4 this time as there are 35 robots in this one.
