20th August 2016 - The Oxford Games, Carterton

I am afraid I am out on the 20th. Hope it goes well

Me going is all depending on if me mum orders the remaining parts and if I get mine built in time. If I do then count me in.

I`ve just noticed that JMD has signed up the two that I had already done (ZZ9 & Ant Ratchet) but I don`t know how to remove them.
Also we will be swapping `Joker` for `Harvester Of Sorrow` our top secret project

I assume you won't be needing my arena as you have the Limpet one which is better for the games format.

[razerdave]

Yeah we need John's for Nuts as well so we may as well save space and use it for combat too.

[peterwaller]

Just knocked up a robot to try and do a little better at the games than I usually do.
It has three configurations as seen in the photo below for nuts, with the scoop on the right for combat and with module on the left for football.

I was considering calling it I can't believe it's not Stanley Mathews but then I remembered how rubbish I was at football and I seem to think there is another robot with a similar name.

[limpet]

We`ve got a rake-bot for nuts 99% finished (Harvester of Sorrow) and I`m looking at another design as well, both with games in mind.

[peterwaller]

One question if both robots from a team compete in the football at the same time who drives the other one.

[peterwaller]

Just had a go at 3d printing a football with flats so it doesn't roll about too much.
A 12 sided polygon wrapped around into a sphere seems to work well.
Here it is being kicked by my games machine.
