What time is the event planning on starting? I may not be able to make it, but I've signed up for it anyway. It's been too long since I've gone to an event!

I have a full set of spares for the three I intend to bring to the next event (PLAPIALPCOM, PM4, RE). I probably want extra sets of wheels for PLAPIAPLCOM because they're exposed....

Re: T_Y's Build Log

I've been busy working on a new bot! I wanted to go back to my front hinge after neglecting it. This time, I opted for a Sandstorm style front hinge.
