Im there both days... :)

What time are the antweight battles schedueld for? Are they the same as the show times, and also are we subject to the same tech check, and the the same tx control requirements, as the higher weight classes, or are we doing something else just for the ants?

Thanks, Alasdair

Hi All,

Both Dan and I will be there on Sunday with 3 Ants, happy to run when needed with batteries all charged.
What time are people planning to get there ? the first show is at Noon so I was going to aim for a round 11 ish.

Cheers

Chris

I am looking forward to this event now. I am getting a lift down from one of the feather guys from newcastle and will be there both days.

I have epoxied on a new gearbox on anticide, and rebuilt kwijebo with a new chassis with a lipo cover and a new set of legs.

See you tomorrow!

I think that 11am on Sunday sounds fine.

As for tech checking etc, that's up to Robots Live, but I'm guessing that as long as we're running on 2.4GHz they won't check us at all.

If you're running 40MHz, then they'll probably want to know.

Just bear in mind, those of you who didn't come last year that this isn't like the "normal" RRC, there's a lot more going on and we won't be able to run the competitions in the usual way, also there will be a lot less space for us and a lot more nosie and demands on our time, such as the public asking questions!
