Great, we can make that date. Never been to an AWS before, so hopefully we'll get hooked on ants and my dad will agree to go to all those down south as well! Currently we've got one ant ready to go, one needing a loss of weight and a small cluster botlet made, one needing a re-build, and one needing to be built, so it's going to keep me busy. We've accumulated the parts for four ants so ideally I want to get that many running :)

Not going to miss out on something like this, I am now devoting all my free time to building Antomic, and will be trying to incorporate a huge weapons servo with 7kg/cm of torque... Prometheus is a brushless spinner concept that I hope to finish in time. See you there!

Is Velocity not a fleaweight Will? You've signed it up as an ant.

Up for helping with commentary or interviews aswell. Was wondering though, will the AWS only be available to watch live or will it be watchable again afterwards as it could be useful to refer people to at brighton model world etc.

I was wondering about that too, especially with Simon not being able to attend, as he usually films it all.

There's two possibilities; either the streaming service I use will have an "archive" feature, where the entire stream is archived and can be watched and/or downloaded from the website later. Alternatively, I could record the camera output through my laptop while streaming, however this option might be too taxing on my machine and cause slowdown.

We'll see what works best when I run my test streams nearer the time. I hadn't forgotten to consider it though ;).
