Thanks for the go ahead James. Much appreciated :)
Wow its been a while. You but be a grown man by now!
I know Dave. Building something the night before an event has '!?' written all over it. However the design is really similar to the original psycho ant.
Infact I think its the exact same design that attended aws 13. Hacked standard servos and all.
On another note I will be leaving from south west London. If any one wants a lift or picking up from a near by station let me know.

Mobile is

07584326 one zero eight

The written last three didgets is so that the number scanning bots dont get me. :lol:
Now I just need to find my tin foil hat.

Will be good to see you Marco, not spoken with you since Whitwick ;P

What sort of competitions are we running this time? I'd rather not enter Jigsaw in the spinners as I've only fixed the internal damage (so it's still a bit battered on the outside) so I was hoping for something like speedway or football to give a go, heh :)

Important Information

As the university is closed for Easter there is no food outlet on campus. Nearest food outlet is a good walk away, so best to bring your own food & drink.

We have the following events to look forward to:

Non-spinner combat in my arena with "interesting" wall arrangement :wink:
RW Gauntlet-style obstacle course/driving test :o
Full combat in PeteC's arena

Look forward to seeing everyone!
Gary, Team BeligerAnt
