Hi all! I've come to the decision/conclusion I won't be doing any more robotics, so I'm offloading some stuff I definitely won't need again. I loved my time doing this hobby and the great community, but the passion isn't there for me anymore despite a few attempts to rekindle it. 3018 Pro CNC Router...

Hi friends! Is there any update as to what date this might run? Thanks!

Yo robodudes and dudettes, just wanted to drop in to say I will unfortunately not be able to attend this AWS. I'm on holiday next week, and apart from wanting a rest when I get back, I've also not had time to get anything built recently. I'm trying to focus on getting my heavyweight done before the ...

What purpose would this serve in the robot? If you're doing something which could potentially be bending or breaking a rule, it's best to be completely clear and upfront with your intentions.

Phew, it's been a while since I posted here! After attending the last AWS my motivation has returned, and that coupled with Void being pretty badly destroyed means I've been working on the design for the new one. You may recall - or read, if you scroll up - that I was a good way through building a n...

The rules do not specifically restrict that, but if it was at my event I would not allow it, and I would imagine many would feel the same. I would insist on either having separate attachments for both, or if for example you only had a single spinner attachment, I would make you nominate which robot ...

What are those ESCs, if you don't mind me asking?

I just came across these:

Some very interesting filaments here, the most interesting of which is nylon reinforced with carbon fibres. Has anyone got any experience with any filaments like these?

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to make it. I've wanted to do an event like this for a while, but unfortunately this falls on the only weekend where I was able to book somewhere for mine and my partner's anniversary. I hope everyone has a fun day and I look forward to seeing the videos
