Are there any arrangements for spectators? My brother's local and wanted to pop in and take a look.

That's a nice looking ant, I really like the combination of the 3d printed chassis and the forged scoop. Will we be seeing it at the aws next week?

There are no particular rules regarding armour, you can use whatever you like, the most common choice is polycarbonate, which provides a good balance between protection and weight. A link to the rules are at the top of this forum.

That's really unfortunate about the hidden charges, and very generous of you to pick up the tab. I'll definitely be contributing over the minimum, it's far less than the cost of building a bot, and without people running events the robots aren't much use.

I'll also add my thanks for your work getting it back online, and for hosting this community, the world of antweights owes you a lot!

That red front hinged flipper is really nice, and the toaster is a work of art inside and out!

That's really cool, I'll definitely echo Pete's comment that it's great to see something a bit unusual. Also, don't worry about the robot being 'perfect' before entering a competition, you learn so much from actually competing and seeing the all the other bots, it's definitely worthwhile.

Really looking forward to this, will your new arena be ready in time?

That's looking pretty dangerous, it'll be good to see what it can do it at the aws.

Sounds good, I hope it works out. No need to apologise for the location, events will always be further for some people than others, and it's not like Southampton is the middle of nowhere anyway.
