It's great to see a new event springing up like this, 2nd July is our school's Summer Fayre, so no go for us, but good luck with it.

I hope everybody is till okay with this weekend
I currently have 2 bots with back up batteries and a 4" cube to measure bots and scales to weigh them
Just was wondering how the arena is coming if at all
I will be bringing my spare lipos and charger etc to get advice on them
See you guys Saturday :)


Oh I may be bringing an audience along as my dad and grandad have taken a real interest in it and they tend to have some good ideas if not they usually have materials that are useful to me Eg plastic, batteries etc

We are still good for Saturday, 2 x Drivers, 2 x 'bots, 1 x spectator :)

No progress on the arena, I've had a couple of unexpected things to do like build a trailer and repair a dinghy tiller. On the up side, I have (hopefully) sorted the left/right sensitivity problem, and lowered the front to stop you keep standing me up!

All robots had improved since the last meet, we ran an quick 'league' and lots of 'all in' stuff. Top 3 from the league were:
