Re: Increasing numbers

I like the reserve idea, even though it would most likely mean a lot of the walker/cluster/funbot entries may drop out. As Peter says, it would have only lost 6 at the last event but I suppose it could start at 4-teams and then work down to 3-teams on huge numbers. The cluster idea doesn't really de...

Re: Electric wire

Hi Michael.
The right hon. Rory Mangles says he uses 22 awg wire as standard in all his antweights and he is the Don so I recommend that.

Increasing numbers

Hi gang. This one is a slightly tricky one but a good one to address sooner rather than later. If robot numbers continue an upward trend for AWS attendance, we will eventually run out of time in a day. AntLog was set to 128 robots max a few year's back as a "this'll never happen" safety li...

Re: Rule Debates

OK. 1) Chris did not agree with you on the day. His quote was "I agree with you Dave, but I'll allow it for this event because we can't find the bit in the rules that specifically forbids it". We have now found that bit.* 2) A robot that fits in the cube on the diagonal is not an expanding...

Re: AWS55 - 30th June 2018 - Dunchurch Village Hall

How hard is it to increase the limit for number of possible ants in AntLog? I feel we may tip over the current 128 entry limit at some point and I think we can find other ways to accommodate all entries.

Re: Die Gracefully Robotics Stuff and Things

Thank you, sir. The "bits box" was pretty much all new for this AWS. Only the walking mech on Bramble and the hinged wood from Considerable were already in existence. But I have picked up a lot of experience in my time, that helps. And I'm OK at driving when I'm on form. The problem with b...
