Its a bit off topic, but I wanted to know if the Vic Open titles is going ahead next month? If not, perhaps you can get the RE4x4 place interested in having a larger interstate event soon? I am sure at least a few NSW builders would be there.

Event Report!!!

First off a big thank's to Danny and Nicky for hosting another great event. Where would we be without you???

So 5 Bots competed today they where

Puncturer (Andrew) Team AJW Thwack Bot
Zebra (Sean & Krist) Team NET Wedge Bot
Rodney (danny) Pnematic flipper
6x7 (Neweyn) Team NMO
B&W (Mat) Team NMO

we ran a round robin event using standard robowars judging criteria, with one change that you had to prove functionality to get points for a bye.


Round 1
Rodney vs bye : Rodney Won (proved function)
Puncturer vs 6x7: 6x7 Won
Zebra vs b&w: b&w Won

Round 2
bye vs 6x7: 6x7 won (proved function)
Rodney vs b&w: Rodney won
puncturer vs zebra: zebra won

Round 3
bye vs b&w: b&w won (proved function)
6x7 vs zebra: 6x7 won
rodney vs puncturer: rodney won


Round 4
bye vs Zebra: Zebra won (proved function)
b&w vs puncturer: puncturer won
6x7 vs Rodney: 6x7 won

Round 5
bye vs puncturer: puncturer won (proved function)
zebra vs rodney: zebra won
b&w vs 6x7: b&w won

At this point we had a clear winner for the day but 2nd 3rd 4th were all undecided.

6x7 1st

3way battle
rodney vs zebra vs b&w

zebra 2nd
b&w 3rd
rodney 4th (tapped out)

puncturer 5th

thanks guys. turned out to be a great day. the rain held up for us, although the roof was on just in case.

for those who weren't here, I'll be meeting with the owner of RE4x4 this week regarding an event at his venue.
The arena STILL needs more work on it, so I will plan for another event at my place, which by the way will be at Hampton Park as, we are moving there in two weeks.
At this stage mid to late June is the plan.

Once again Nici and I thank you all who came, we had a ball.

I just relised how crap the quality is So i will try to upload them again in a far better format. Sorry about that guys they look pathetic.

Edit: BTW zebra is similar in shape and size to plastique and was orignaly a new version so wins/loses may be best to combine.

Polymorph

Available from Altronics (or cheaper in bulk from Ebay or Overseas if you want lots)

Practically unbreakable lightweight stuff, I was tempted to try and mold some armour out of it - If it gets damaged, just aim a heat-gun at it and mold it back into shape. Smile

This thing http://www.therobotstudio.com/main.html?src=%2Findex2.html - is made with it.

Ah that was on ebay aus a little while back.
Would note that it would be useless for motor mounts or against flamethrowers. Laughing Looks like a good backing material though...
