Tryinnng to start interest at uni... May have to go alternate route to get there though... Would be handy if the lasercutter didn't suck so hard or I would have finished my kitbots...

Yeah, defeat is self-defeating!

I'd be there with robots a-plenty if SWIMBO had not already booked a holiday.

Hi guys,

I am still tossing up roadtrip. I might throw together a beetle next week and I have 2 feathers which aren't really NSW ready but I really don't care I just want some fights.

Is it worth the effort and cost? I feel obliged to do it as I would really like to see you guys up here in November but I at least want it to be worth the trip. Btw did you ever get your TV promos done?

Steve

To be honest marto, it wouldn't be worth your while. I personally wish I could have made Nov, but will probably send up an antweight for someone else to drive/trash. I don't think anyone will see it as the whole 'you didn't invite me to your party so i'm not inviting you' rubbish... Battleshed's dudded this year, hopefully things will pickup.

I expressed interest earlier and was always intending to come if it looked like it was going to be good. I have just sort of seen the interest in the event taper off over the last few months.

Speaking of sending robots interstate... how interested would those who can't attend be in a fight by wire system? I reckon I am 50% of the way there. Or I can invest my motivation elsewhere and try to get some funding for interstate competitors maybe $50 or $100 for competing ..... Not much I know but I want more robots competing.

Massive will be at Battleshed, driven by Andrew. Its going to have a higher voltage pack and Andrew will try to knock up a steel front wedge. Here's hoping it doesn't get owned so badly!

alright so two featherweights and andrew doesnt want to fight mine probably so close to the november event so ive got demon packed away. just beetleweight for i.

Mainly due to having a gigantic bender this weekend and ive got my workshop in tatters while i repair some stuff and get some new things in there

On that note i realised one of my gearmotors that i was gunna fix has a busted shaft also a bushing, so has anyone got one motor i could buy? ($15-20 or something) i just need it now is all

thank youuu

ok folks whats the final word gonna be so i can plan around it - one day or two? if one, which day?

It'll be one day, just beetles... I would rather Saturday. I'll have mudkip.
