Good idea Ian, I know HTML so I'll whip up a quick webpage when I next have a spare 5 minutes, there is 2 pictures and a v. short video, all produced in 3DS max, which come to about 700kb, so if you could host it for me that'd be great.

Erm....you've got me there Simon, and I can't check it because currently there in my fleaweight. I'll open them up after January 3rd and work it out for you.

To give you a rough idea, watch the videos of the FW smash in Redditch. I was using those servos then, with 32mm diamater wheels, so that should give you a rough idea of how fast you should go.

Hi Scott,

It was a good speed. I look forward to your web page.

I have been trying out a new version of psycho ant. Im going for 4 wheel drive, mostly using gears to get it done. Its all mostly in the air atm as im not sure if it will work well. Il probably just stick to the old design for this redding event just to play it safe.
Chrono trigger is going more for penumatics which should solve the flipping problem.
Berserka - not saying anything for this

just wate and see.

After Ant-lion's destruction at the FW Smash, I think its time for a whole new line-up of ants:

Cypher: 4WD Invertable Wedge.

Scourge: 2WD Invertable Drum.

Fell: 2WD Pneumatic Flipper.

Hopefully I'll have them all done by AWS14.

Hey there
First off welcome to our ant comunity
As for names well, i usually go for names that i think are cool at the time, even if they have nothing to do with ants what so ever
Chrono Trigger is an old snes game but i just thought hey I like that name
Berserka is basically nicked from a anime, jap aninemation

alot of peeps around like the names with ant in them so
CombatANT
EntrANT

depends really what kind of person u are

I tend to name my ants after good songs.
Bigshot comes from 'Big Shot' by Billy Joel. Some songs don't work though (Roll Over Beethoven would sound a bit stupid!)
