We'd still need 6 drivers and 6 transmitters... I think it'd probably be registered to Callum's team again, and we can have Callum, Alex, and I driving, (and maybe Will if he's not too busy organising things) but we'd still need a few more drivers with transmitters... We'll work something out on the day most likely...

I'm sure you can rope in some of the new kids if needed. Peter can be in it too, he doesn't tend to drive in anyone else's team. Or just rope in some random students?

Yeah, I was planning to rope in some random students.. though the AWS is actually happening the day after term ends, so I may have to persuade some of them to stick around :L And that's a good point; now Pete's new drive units have arrived I'm sure he'll have a spare nano or several :) My nano team's full now, and I just bought the parts for 8 more (they're so stupidly cheap to make.. ), so I can start designing a few to specifically fight ants :P

Will has enough to do Lemmings by himself now as well... I wonder what the logistics of entering 4 clusters of 6 Nanoweights as an ant team would be like... terrible I should imagine!

If you did the same with the Flea weight category, and had a full nano team too, you could theoretically enter 40 robots into an AWS... and it would likely be a disaster :P

it honestly wouldn't surprise me if lemmings did do very well. i can't help hoping for a lemmings vs cut up match though. :)

If any team wants John M as a driver he would be very happy to help.

I bet I'm not the only beginner with a transmitter willing to drive a cluster...
