OK, might it be worth putting antweights.com on the cards?

Anyway, FYI I've booked a room at Best Western Princes Marine Hotel
153 Kingsway Hove , England BN3 4GR for Friday night.

I'll bring along some spare LiPo batteries I have, mostly about 640mAh. I have some 2100's I saving for a special occasion.

Want me to bring anything else? Will have Gross Incompetance as an audience drive, trying to get another slower one made.

What is the situation with frequencies this year? Will have a demo bot on 40MHz rather than 2.4GHz

I've got the plans for giving away, static info boards for the robots from last year, some business cards and the projector/dvds. I can bring a dodgy old Sony Vaio as well if its really needed.

Just modifed PAnts for run on AAAs but can't get them inside Squashy so its the PP3s for that again this year.

I have managed to cobble together the front of my old Antrax with the pincers and the rear of the 40MHz version of Variant to make a slightly oversized/overweight Ant that the visitors can drive. Should last a reasonable time some bigger lithiums. I will be interested in how it does as it has the slightly larger motor gearboxes from Solobotics.

Frequency control this year appears a bit more ad hoc than last year. There was no frequency chart produced, and I don't think there's an RC meeting before the show either.
It only says that frequencies may be booked at the control desk in the main hall.

Please can everyone post their frequencies here so that I have a list and can try to "bag" as many frequencies as possible early in the day.
