Loved the event, reakon I won about as much as I lost with mine. Sathanas was stylishly taken to bits by Pete, that was ace.

Note to Joacim: The tack on the wheels increased push from barely 150g to about 2kg, so, there you go then.

Hehe. Reminds me of a freind to me (which I tricked into this sport! *muhahaha*) used double sided sticky tape, and could push Vaccum while it was sucking! After taking to him he said that he tested it to push his stereo without any problems, which weight 7kg!

Oh Btw Rhys, I think TNT is a good looking ant, to be honest

but isnt there a rather large risk that the tape sticks to the floor and you go and slide off?

Perhaps the photos don't do them justice, I think Dave's Ants look great. Especially Impending Doom On You http://images2.fotopic.net/?iid=ybwy96& ... noresize=1
Thanks Simon!

NOTE: Impending Doom on You was partly made of cardboard, which I think is a very under-rated material I think as you can draw pretty pictures all over it! :D

I'm very proud of his "My other ant is a Waller" bumper sticker.

In response to a request I have scanned in the score sheets from RRC7 and put them on the photos site. You can see them at http://readingrobotclub.fotopic.net/c685842_25.html

Simon sent me his lot of recordings from RRC7 a few days ago, if you wanted to send me yours (on a CD or DVD) in full quality, so I can start editing them etc., It would be much appreciated :)
