its all about match fitness and we have it down here ...we started battling well over 2 years ago ,and i believe we were the first group to get together well over 3 years ago and that happened in my factory at emu plains .
we have a group bank account so i guess you could say we are financial ,which pays for food, drinks, arena upgrades and any out of pocket expenses jeff may experience.
all the blokes have very regular build meets ,not just at jeffs they do it amongst themselves as well ,and i think the big factor is we all help where we can and have no ego dramas .
the arena has been a group effort from the beginning ,be it suppling materials for no cost or labour at no cost .and when it comes to paying for stuff we now all do it .
put it this way ,if for some reason we lost the arena at jeffs ,we would pitch in and have one up and running somewhere before the next event .its called POOLING RESOURCES ...no one individual is expected to organise anything on their own .
i think i could speak for all NSW builders and that is we like it how it is.
if in 2 years we have the same bunch of builders and no more ,then so what .robot wars has already had the big crowd bullshit in the UK and USA.and look what it did to the uk buildiers ...run it like a local RC CAR CLUB then its survival is assured ,
you start doing big public events ,it costs time, money and at the end of the day does it really get more builders at the next one probably not . _________________ Photos - http://community.webshots.com/album/154092733uokpXC
