That may take more than one day, but I am up for that idea. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I'll probably just bring a pile of parts that is currently my RoboWars entrant.
@Andrew: Might take my other car, bit cheaper on fuel compared to your Berlina or my stationary Silvia
@Philip: I've found the front of the winch, just need to dig out the two screws for it. I've found 4 out of 6 75mm blue wheels, will bring them along too. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
Anyway I only have a pile of parts. Its looking more like just a build day but I might come out. _________________ Steven Martin

I wish it was next weekend. If it was we might actually have something going. I'd prefer to stay here and work on Sidewinder tomorrow, but I should have the drive going but the saw it static and there is no armour at all yet. Tomorrow was going to be my wheel gaurd day.
Prancing Queen is driving but there is no way to hold the dome on so it can't fight.
Hellbringer just needs a wheel and motor swap, but you have to convince Andrew to do it first. He is to busy with PQ.
And I would like to sleep in just once this month.
well....
if anyone turns up then so be it.
I've organised lunch as per usual in case we are on. No dramas if we're not on as I can simply freeze the food for next time....
I can't do any other weekend due to work commitments until christmas is over
.....Feb 19th is the first round of House of Carnage 2006 season. Malice of Forethought WILL be test run and ready for the new season.
4.46kg (at approx. 2500rpm) "wheel of malice" comming to a bot near you..... _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.

I'll still be there. It was too long without seeing everyone last time we had a huge gap between meets. This is our last chance before February or so.
The ute is packed and Marauder is ready to go. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I'll be there. I've got some new updated softwar I want to install into Sproings controller, it's working great on the test bench, but needs some in bot testing. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

It was a typically great day at Goombungee. There is always a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Nic is just starting a seven day a week work marathon in the lead up to Christmas and still made time to host the robot meet. Poor bugger.
Nic has some great plans for increasing the size ofthe arena and improving safety and giving everyone a better view of the action.
You have to be impressed by Robyn. I am sure she could find plenty of things to be done around the house without the robot arena taking Nic's attention. Nic is lucky to have a good wife.
Andrew Aidulus (aka Totaly Recycled) and Aaron (aka TDT) gave me a lot of help and good advice to improve Marauder.
Daniel's robot, Sidewinder, is coming along as stylishly as ever.
Andreww Kero's robot, Prancing Queen, has a solid, well thought out driving base and looks like being a real contender in the future.
We had a bit of fun in the arena without using weapons. Marauder used four battery packs while Sproing was as fresh as a daisy on one battery.
All in all a fun relaxed day. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
