As far as I can work out the following has happend.
I agreed to bring my arena along as part of the robotslive display.
When the people organising the micro mouse were in discusions about what they would display they told the organisers they would try and get me to give an ant display as I had at last years micromouse contest. When I agreed to bring my micromouse I mentioned I was already going with the ants and this was taken as being part of the micromouse display although I did not know this until this evening. Hence I seem to be organising the ant display in the micromouse area but presumably still using the ants entered with robots live and using their frequency control to avoid clashes. I love it when a plan comes together.

This was a great event with large crowds and lots of interest. The only problem is letting the youngsters drive the robots almost continuously for two days takes a lot out of them and I have about four to repair. Thanks to Razordave, Socrates and Andre for all the help. I didn't actually have time to go round the Space centre to have a look so maybe next time.

Wasn't quite as bad as I thought two were just low batteries it seems the one I replaced them with must have been flat as well must get better organised or remember to take my meter. Combatant had the screws holding the gearbox to the motor strip and variant had a blown motor driver. All fixed and ready to go.
