Its good to see we have a nice healthy number (31 ants) and some new faces as well

I defy anyone now that says antweights are dead

Who said that then Dave?

Yes, they're looking healthier than ever. Now let's keep the momentum going by attending more HW/FW events in force!

Anyway, there's a slight problem with the frequencies. We have two robots on 40.685 with crystals that can't be changed and two on 40.765 that can't be changed. See the teams list for more details (clashes 2 and 4)

we are really excited about this!

is it ok if i bring my feather, just so you guys can take a look?

anyways it will be nice to see some new blood

"i defy anyone who says ants are dead"

hear hear, my robot club should boost the numbers when they come, i predict that by 2012 we will have 50 ants turning up.

No probs Craig.

On another note, Andre, Tanya and Socrates won't be there (until later), so it'll me just Peter W and me running the thing. So any help with judging, timekeeping etc. will be gratefully accepted (I know you'd do this anyway, but I thought I'd just mention it) and there will be no tea and biscuits etc. until later as well.

If it's ok with you, me and Andrew Hibberd will be coming along, just to spectate. I plan to use Febuary half term to get my workshop set up again, and I need to re-ignite my passion to give me the motivation to get on with it ^^.

I'd also be happy to help out if you're shorthanded.

Looking forward to seeing you all tommorow
