Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

This looks like being my lineup for AWS38.

Nice to see a variety, used to be all spinners .

How many complete ants do you actually have? I have 7 ants and 2 fleas, with 2 more ants to come (my 3rd DAD robot and my new spinner).

[peterwaller]

I had no idea so I had to dig them all out.
These ones are all virtually complete apart from
Militant needing a new tyre.
Succulant has the pump removed while I experiment with a smaller pump.
Mutant needs a slight repair to the blade.
It turns out there are 15 Ants and 2 Fleas.

Thats not counting 3 minisumo's and one micromouse wall follower.

[peterwaller]

Thats well remembered the two servo flipper drive all day never really had names, the DAD with pincers was antrax in a previous existance but when I removed the tracks I renamed it Pincer. The thing with just tracks was something I knocked up for the obsticle course at Richmond again has no name.
All the rest I think you covered.

I was out in the garage etching a PCB this morning and came across another old Combatant and NotsoFlippant.
They have had their batteries and receivers unplugged but otherwise complete.

haha, it's probably a bad sign if you can lose robots
that's my favorite version of combatant

Peter, you should enter a retro AWS team one time. All the old versions, just to see how they do. Could be like when you entered Defiant after so long and it ended up winning.
