International
Motorama 2015 - February
I looked into travel to Motorama; It looks like you would fly to LA and then Baltimore or Philadelphia. From there its a drive to Harrisburg. Driving on US roads would be a suicide mission for me, but if anyone else wanted to go then I would be keen to take a bot over. From the last Motorama's videos, Aussie bots would be very competitive.
Robogames 2015 - TBC
Best event I ever went to! Unfortunately, Dave has stopped doing feathers
UK Featherweight Championship - TBC
I am already there! Its probably the largest feather event in the world right now; easy to get to and very well organised. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Quick Motorama update: there is an excellent train connection between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, so it would be possible to get a fairly cheap minibus - train - minibus transfer after flying into Philadelphia. There are hotels very close to the Motorama event so driving can be avoided and using public transport might even save money as well. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

For the Robowars Nationals event, which rule set are we following??
I need the final weight confirmed, is it 12kg??
might be a silly question but are we aloud to use LiPo's. I didn't see them mention on any of the rules I read??

The weight limit is 13.61kg (30lb)
Everyone uses LiPo's, which is probably why we don't mention it.

Thanks Daniel one last thing... Is this the latest version on the rules??
This is the latest version. And it is pretty similar to the version we have used previous years. I will do up the exact one for nationals closer to the event but the only real differences are likely to be no flamethrowers as its inside.
