Thought I'd post some details of my AWS line up.

AntiDepressant V4

Armour: 1mm Aluminium
Drive: 2 Pololu 50:1 HP geared motors
Weapon: Flipper powered by a Park HPXF servo
Battery: 240mah, 2 cell LiPo
ESC: PWaller Option D/Planet 5 receiver combo.

Robot of the Opera

Same as always but with sturdy new aluminium shell.

All functional but I need to get some driving practice with AntiD as it is driven on one stick (which I'm not used to).

I've also got some servos I can get a basic robot together with before next Saturday so there may be a third as well as my flea.

Well, have something put together for next week. Probably call it Push-it for lack of inspiration

Motors: 50:1 HP
Wheels : 42mm Pololu
Armour : 5mm HDPE on the sides with some carbon fibre and glass fibre sheets top and bottom
Front scoops : 0.6 mm titanium
Pololu motor controller with Hobbyking DSM2 compatible receiver

It will get me into driving the things which is important

Two nice looking robots there

Harry, do you have the weight for extra weapons on the new AP?

Really not sure about that, my driving is pretty awful.

That is one cool robot! I love it. Please don't call it Push-It though. I have a ton of names you could use, I think it deserves something a lot better! It's great!

Jonathan, the new Antidepressant is very impressive too. Love how low and sleek it is. And Haz, great work on the axe! I have a similar machine that's only weighing in at 116g and has a great weapon.

Look forward to seeing you all on saturday!
