Went to buy a couple and have already sold out! Oh well...

My arena uses 12mm hardwood plywood flooring, similarly not fixed down and segmented into two sections for flat pack convenience. It is also primed and painted. Having used it at the BotFest pilot, it works fine as far as I can see.

I'd possibly be interested, depends on where and when it might be.

It should be noted, building an arena is a bit of a undertaking to build as I found. Might not be so much of an issue if it is a non-spinner event but worth bearing in mind.

I can probably make this.

I use a pistol style transmitter in one of my antweights. The one I use does not mix the channels together so one control would drive one wheel and one would drive the other. I did have an external mixer at one stage which worked until it caught fire (don't ask how :P) so I have to be quite careful ...

Assuming these are the N20 motors, I'd just unscrew it via the two crosshead screws that you can see when looking at the output shaft. Having just done it to a old motor I have, the whole brass section (plus the gears) just comes away as one part so you should just be able to clamp that down and use...

I picked up a pillar drill that uses a standard corded drill and simply guides it down for about £20. I need to get a clamp to hold the pieces down whilst operating the ...

Solid enough for my Antweight to use a pair as a drive system and as a weapon ESC on my Beetleweight. I've had one catch fire on me but I think that was because I was pressing down on it with a tin lid and then turned it on.

...next one is at Grantham on the 23rd/24th June Good good, I'll reassemble Shu! for then. The Grantham pits area is really spacious but I can see why RL might want to limit this since it isn't generally for public viewing (except for the VIP folks). There is a beetleweight championships in October...
