Re: Ant Freeze event, 5th March anyone?
Not as far as I'm aware of. I don't know anything about AWS 63 though, someone else might know more? Feb/March is looking like a busy time for insect-weight events though!
26th Feb BBB Beetles
27th Feb Robodojo Ants/Beetles
5th Mar Ant Freeze TBC?
13th Mar BBB Ants/Bodgebots
19th Mar Scouse Showdown Beetles
Would Ant Freeze still be using the separate class tournaments - "spinner", "flipper", "axe", "other" I think it was?

Re: Ant Freeze event, 5th March anyone?
Still different weapons for each of your robots but a combined tournament. So it’s just entry criteria that has changed.

Re: Ant Freeze event, 5th March anyone?
Cool, thanks for the clarification. Should be bringing a flipper, axe and grabber then.
Just heard that AWS 63 is planned to be March, not sure when though.

Re: Ant Freeze 8, March 5th 2022.
Out of curiosity, where is the best scuttlebutt for AWS rumours?

Re: Ant Freeze 8, March 5th 2022.
It was on the BBB calendar as tbc so I asked there who was organising it.

Re: Ant Freeze 8, March 5th 2022.
I’m *trying* to sort out AWS63 because there were no volunteers for the early year one (we have for the mid year and later year ones.
Soon as I can find a venue I will be posting it all over the everything

Thanks for organising. Don't know if I missed it the main post, how many rollers are we allowed to enter in the main competition (assuming different weapons)?

March 5th should be a goer for me! I'll bring a flipper, grabber, vert, and axe. I shall also see if I can find time to redesign any of my bots (cos they all need a new version building) but I honestly doubt I'll have time to do anything bar repairs before May
A grabber? I CHALLENGE IT WITH JIGGY!
