Larger discharge batteries? That could just be the answer! I shall make sure to keep my eye open when I do my battery buying next! However, I may be clustering Hoondal with a nano to spice things up a little and leave space for a 4WD pusher (watch out Stanley!) in the place of the Power Cluster.

Thanks to everyone for all your help!

Remote-Controlled Dave obviuosly has an extremely good memory and noticed and error in one of the group stage result sheets.
I had shown Anto 3 (sorry Craig) going out to Ant Clank but after checking the hand writen charts I found in fact it won that fight but then went out to Chomp.
Here is the updated chart.

Just noticed watching the video that, although the Smart Ant robots were entered as 2 teams, Kenton drove all 6 robots. This is against the rules and really not in spirit of the comp. We'll have to keep tabs on it in future. I'm sorry to draw attention to it as its negative, but it has to be addressed really.
A separate team needs a separate driver, and the ONLY way you should be driving more than 4 robots is if you're helping someone else out with their clusterbot. We are all aware of these rules!
