Hiya

Congrats to Hib

About the lost property: A blue Futaba charger and a roll of black tape, they're mine

Not much after-event chatting going on, but I've got nought to chat about, because all mine failed:

FIN: Battery decided to die, and now works fine

Baby Hell: wheels didn't touch the floor, and then a servo stopped working, worked now though
Stewie: one speed mod came unglued, and the little axle that hold in the gear that engages with the servo-motor slipped out of place under any load, hence it worked when I held the robot up

My only good memory was knocking Dynamite out with Pete's Dominant (Thanks for that Pete)

So what did you guys learn from AWS 20 ? Improvements ? Hindsight as to a certian fight ?

I am halfway there with the AWS20 stuff.

Pictures and details are here:

http://www.antweight.co.uk/results/ws20/ws20.htm

I think Nathan took better pictures than me personally.

Normal rules apply, take any pics of your own ants and upto 5 others with a link to antweight.co.uk Drop me a mail if you want any high res pics.

That is the direct link, I am modifying a few pages over the next few days so will update the front page then.

I'd just like to thank Josh for making the effort with my robots. It's never easy driving someone elses robots. And from what Dave tells me, they went a bit mental.

No pics of Stewie ? I was banking on that for my website
No worries, I will take one when he is fixed

Hmmm what have I learned

Well psycho ant is going to experiment with a new shape. Just to make it a lil smaller and also a bit less plane. It looks prity much just like a huge wedge at the moment. Also try and make it lower.
Chrono trigger I am very happy with. I will build a new one alont side it (not dismantaling the old one for parts). But maybe a lil faster and stop it from flipping its self over when i filp an oponent.
Berserker just needs a better rebuild, maybe turn it into a crusher.
Trojan I am happy with. Maybe just make it a lil lower and a bit lighter and work with dave with it or something.

Hmmm, what I learned from aws20...?

Flippt doesent need improvements, its the driver

. Will try to get a 6exa transmitter.

Buddy, I have no idea what to do with anymore, its a flea, but one of the servos seems to be jammed. Maybe get a 40mhz receiver, so no need for battery swaps between transmitters (Thanks Scott for the connectors and Marco who is the expert pluggin them in

)

Desire. New walkmech so the disk dosent hit the ground
