Dave Weston and I are in talks about a situation where I provide venue and things like power, tables, etc and the people who've run AWSes before provide the event-running skills. Exact details TBC and am currently waiting on having confirmed access to a venue and dates that work for Dave and I befor...

I didn't say it was fully sponsored by them.... indeed it isn't. They are, however, doing a lot of the work for very little money, hence why it can take a while for things to happen as paying customers take precedence. If I ever want jobs doing quickly, I end up paying similar to a retail customer t...

Hi Gary, Thanks for the reply. 1.5m x 1m is convenient from a polycarb panel size perspective (assuming I ever get my Ford Galaxy back from the garage that have just admitted defeat over a gearbox issue of their own making). I think I get where you're coming from - I provide a base with a set of mou...

To add to my previous post: The gap in the arena walls is actually 238mm wide - which I'd hope is big enough without being too big. I've reduced the low wall heights to be only 30mm as a first run - giving hopefully more scope for flipping stuff out. What I was trying to avoid with the wall heights ...

Hi Gary, First off: Thank you! - Your response is invaluable. Both sides do open - just the CAD only shows the near side opened. I like your thinking - hadn't really thought about that concept of "You bring me an arena base, I'll bring you a roof". I've also got plans for several bits of i...

http://hosting.cmalton.me.uk/chrism/AntweightV3.png OK, so... one of the side panels (near side) is currently hinged up in this model, but I think I've addressed the things mentioned above without making too many other changes (other than how the core frame gets assembled). Let's hear the criticism...

Thank you for your replies thus far. I'll, err, get back in Inventor.... Adjusted design to follow. Just as well the machine shop aren't going to do anything on this until August. Once the arena is built it goes without saying that it'll be available for the community if they would like to run an ev...

So..... accidents happen.... For those of you who don't know me - I've been doing the XR live tour with that boxy featherweight with the drum we can't use yet, there's a heavyweight in the pipeline (slow progress there), and now this..... Long story short - I've kinda been roped into the world of An...
