Re: What is a team?

But what's the point?

Why isn't it just that you enter each robot individually and it's OK to share drivers between robots?

What is a team?

Maybe a stupid question, but I've seen some mention of "teams" and it seems like these are multiple robots entered by the same person in the same event. I don't quite understand how grouping the robots as a "team" differs from simply entering each robot individually? Do the robot...

Re: AWS'60 Results Analysis

Great stats! Do you plan to sample data from the other 59 AWSes also? :P Hmm, taking a look at AWS'59 might be worth doing just to see how consistent the results are. If they both agree on the rough ordering of the different types, we can have more confidence in it. Don't think I can quite be bothe...

Re: 3D printers

Hi, I think the Ender 3 is a pretty good printer.

They're available refurbished on eBay for about £140.
