Not as far as I'm aware of. I don't know anything about AWS 63 though, someone else might know more? Feb/March is looking like a busy time for insect-weight events though! 26th Feb BBB Beetles 27th Feb Robodojo Ants/Beetles 5th Mar Ant Freeze TBC? 13th Mar BBB Ants/Bodgebots 19th Mar Scouse Showdown...

I'm not aware of any official weapon definitions. I think any set of weapon definitions has to contend with primary intention vs. actual 'effectiveness'. For example, axe weapons at antweight scale typically don't do much damage, but there's a clear intention of hitting the top of the opponent with ...

Indeed there are some that claim "PLA+ Is a Perfectly Legitimate Choice..." You called? :D I use eSun PLA+, mainly because that's what I started using when I got into 3D printing and didn't have a proper set up for printing better materials like an enclosure or all-metal hot end. Some mat...

AWS 62 was good fun as always, and it was great seeing some people for the first time in 2 years at Ant Freeze! My performance was about standard for me at larger tournaments. PLAPIAPLCOM got my best result at an AWS at 3/2 (though that includes a bye), PM4 got 2/2 including a bye, and Runtime went ...

Thanks Harry for organising the event, and for Dave for bringing your arena! Good fun, and it was great seeing some of you for the first time in 2 years!

No issues with that, only a few more days to go!

There has been a recent emergence of powered overhead weapons, I think we'll start to see more people developing armour packages for them - I made 0.5mm Ti top plates after seeing Shakey's "Calm Down, It's Only a Drill!" eviscerate a LiPo at Ant Freeze last year. I've found Titanium workab...

Ooh, 4-bar lifter! Always like seeing more of those being made. Seconding haz's suggestion of polycarbonate panels bolted on to the chassis. This is what I do - I use PLA+ brackets and mostly polycarbonate (I like to use 1.5mm if I can spare the weight, but you could probably go thinner), and they h...

I went to BotFest and Robodojo a couple of weekends ago, so it's time for an event log! This one will cover some general remarks followed by a Robodojo report, as I'm waiting for BotFest footage to be uploaded first before I write up that event.

Thank you for hosting, it was great to see everyone after so long! Looking forward to the video!
