Roaming Robots Event Aylesbury 22nd May

OK then

So the attending roboteers vote unanimously for leagues, as far as I can see. I'll bring along some paperwork, and the Speedway arena. Let's start full combat at 1:30 as previously suggested.

Can someone make up some leaflets to give out to the general public? It might be a good idea...

Also it sounds like we'll all need to bring extention leads and adapters, and probably coats as well. The five day forecast is for heavy rain, oh well. Can anyone add anything to the shopping list?

Good luck everyone. I'm still repairing Electra, although it'll never be the same after being attacked by Anticyclone. You've really achieved a titanium killer there Pete.

I have had ti go through 1mm polycarb too, it is not a very friendly robot. I love it

R.O.N.N.Y. and RampAnt are OK (finally cured RONNY's driving problems - twisted chassis!)
AntLifter is marginal as we still have an unresolved gearbox problem on an S62 *&$%?@* thing!!!

I will try to make up some "business cards" with useful URLs on.

Hi Andrew,

If the battles start at 11:00 then I'd say the extra one and a half hours will be for featherweights to get ready.

We'll set off just before 9:00, if you want a lift. Which halls are you at?

AntLifter's gearbox still has an intermittant problem, but it seems to work more often than not, so we'll go with it tomorrow and see what happens.

I have made up some small cards as follows:

Antweight robots weigh 150g and
must fit into a 4? (10cm) cube.
For further information, please visit:
www.antweights.com,

and the antweight forum at:

Thank you for your interest.

If you want to print some of your own, I used Word's label facility to print a sheet of Avery L7160 labels (onto plain paper). This gives 21 labels per A4 sheet, each label being approx 6.3 x 3.8 cm.

OK, that was fun, and nice to see some new faces. Let's hope we see some more after today.

Here are the results:

Any errors, omissions or typo's are entirely my fault and the result of a long day!

I thought it was a good day. We certainly had some keen ant-fans by the end of the afternoon, and hopefully a few new ant builders in the near future!

(PeteC - we will have to start negotiating commission rates if we give out many more plugs for the RW101 shop!
