Scissorhands is racing ahead too - it will have all the basics upgraded before the end of the month. Very Happy

I'm interested in coming. I don't think I'll bring Avenger but a revised Hellbringer instead.
I'll also want to bring the high speed camera but I'm worried about the amount of fluro lights in the arena since they create a terrible strobing effect and it won't be watchable.

We could turn off the fluros and just run the spotlights during some matches, the arena should be light enough, and the spectator area is 100% sealed now so you should still be able to film thru the poly. Very Happy I'd be up for that for some insane high speed footage.

Spot lights might not supply enough light. I can only use the high speed during day light because I don't have enough lights at home to get good results.

I'm with welch. If oxycut follows through then all will be good, timing belts and pulleys are the last parts that need ordering.

My new one is called catastrophe.

Scissorhands is looking good and I have the next two weeks off for nothing but bot building. I would need to make some extra parts, but it might be possible to get both frames fully working at the same time. If that works out, we might see Evil Twin make an appearance Twisted Evil Put me down for one robot at the moment.

Are there any other interstate guys coming or am I going to have to take on NSW by myself?

Last weekend Avenger kept throwing weapon chains but Hellbringer was reliable so I will be bringing a pushy bot this year. I'm changing its name to Vendetta so my brother won't be upset if I lose a fight.

The Rotwang team are bringing their usual arsenal of killer bots. Aaron and Andrew W also said they were coming, not sure about the other guys from Victoria.

I actually have to pull out of this due to money constraints at the moment.
Would be rushing to make it, and probably be a waste of a few hundred $ to turn up with the wedge or a rushed meltybrain again.
