I'm not complaining about the ruling- I now have an excuse to build another ant :) but I was just thinking that if the metal armour rules are discussed in the future, this could be a possible solution. Until then though, i intend to keep Ant Awe for demos at Roaming Robots & Robots Live and buil...

Personally, I don't have a problem with ants being made from billets although it seems from what people have been saying that the main reason for keeping rule k was to stop this.

I have just been re-reading this discussion and one thing occured to me- seeing as the main motivation for keeping rule k was to stop people building ants from metal billets (which is fair enough). Although the ants that started this were made from 0.5mm aluminium sheet- which is just as damageable ...

I will be taking 3 ants along this weekend (2 which I have built for others).

Alex from team Blitz will also be taking one.

We are also trying to get an arena done for next week so that we could run multiple fights simultaneously. (thats assuming that you are taking yours Dave)

Here is the sign up page http://robotslive.co.uk/signup2.htm

We have signed up with Maelstrom, our feathers and Ant Awe.

Who else has signed up??

I have a couple of 54:1 ratio Micro geared motors (like the sanyo ones) (?10 each inc postage)

I also have a couple of Solarbotics GM6 motors with lego wheels already attached (?5 each inc postage)

Email or PM me if you are interested.
