first ant build diary!!!

Does anyone know if they still bring an antweight arena to the robot wars live tour events? When I went to Gloucester last year there wasn't one.

Dave (Weston)'s the person you need to ask about that I think - I know he's willing and able to bring it, just because there's only so much space in his car he does it only if there's demand. There will hopefully be the Oxford Games in May as well, which myself and Dave are running - as he's been busy with Robot Wars and I've got the flu though, organisation's been slow...

What time of year is Gloucester usually held as I've been desperate to go and I somehow missed it last year??

[botomatic1000]

November 9th I believe last year.

[botomatic1000]

Oxford games? Never heard of it what is it?

[Occashokka]

It's not been run before but I think a few similar have and I think it's going to be more biased towards lots of different games so people who get knocked straight out in normal combat still have plenty to do and compete in but if you want more details ask joey.

I would love to enter it if my robot is complited/delivered in that time.

[botomatic1000]

I dunno I'm starting to have my doubts again on whether I will even get started I hope I can but I doubt it.

Yay im ordering him later today. THE BRUMMIE BULL AWAITS!!!

Since im ordering one of rorys things (already have) I have to design a body but I cant come up with anything please can I have some help or a photo of a basic ant design it would really help. p.s HDPE or polycarbonate? I prefer how HDPE looks but its heavier and harder to cut so what thickness for either 1.5mm good enough?
