Ok so looks like the April event is the day of my wedding - so i probably should go to that instead of dogging it to go to robots - tempted as i am

>_> as ironic as it is I can't make the first scheduled Jan event any more... Would moving it to the 21st be too shocking? They're only ants. Up to glen really...
That's all good Jaemus we can fight bots in your honour!!! We could rearrange that one but would back or forward one week be enough?

Well everyone jump in and have your say, happy to leave it as is just won't be there... you all have to have an epic event if I can't make it.
Beetle event... I dragged the arena out and it needs a crap-load of TLC. I'm struggling to find any interested venues. It however can be assembled into a far more manageable 1.2 x 1.2m configuration (makes a real roof way easier), but that might be too small for beetles. We need some direction with this.
Lets have a bit more discussion and I'll lock the dates on the 1st in the new year.

i plan to have an ant done in next two weeks of some form, rebuilding beetle soon and starts of featherweight improvements already happening.
Peoples confirm plans and ima build to fit them. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Alright, due to no objections:
Our first event of 2012 will be on the 21st of Jan, an antweight event at Glens. We have the options of using the Antweight arena built by Nick (if available?) or the Beetleweight arena in a 1.2 x 1.2m configuration, but Nicks ant arena is much better...
There will be lasercut medals/trophies for all NSW events this year, who will be top NSW team 2012?

Awesome
we should do proper record keeping this year, every fight needs to have scores done IMMEDIATELY after the fight and all results posted straight after the event. This means we need to ensure the battleputer is there, or we need to put together something suitable in its absence if any
i'd love to see a NSW ant leaderboard happen _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

The ant arena just needs a quick clean to be ready for action
