NSWRFC - 25th june - Antweights!



Location: My place! 30 Greenway ave Shalvey - http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=30+greenway+ave+shalvey&hl=en&ll=-33.727253,150.811394&spn=0.001405,0.003117&sll=-33.727252,150.811393&sspn=0.011243,0.024934&t=h&z=19 Ask for my ph number and ill PM it to you.
Classes: Antweights only, of the 150 gram variety. Make sure they're in the weight limit too. The magical woolworth scales of justice do not lie Shocked
Time: This Saturday, the 25th of June. Get there ~ 10-11am and start at 12 at the latest. Failure to do so will result in the killer cats being released! Shocked
Cost: $10 at the door to cover the food, otherwise feel free to starve! the choice is wide open Razz We'll have a BBQ for lunch as always.
What to bring: Robots, chargers, and specialised tools, i have plenty of tools and such you can use. I should be set for tables but bring your own if you wish! (probably not a bad idea).
Invite only: Not open to the general public, leave that for serial space (kev001 you fellas are clearly welcome! Very Happy)
PRIZES?!: Yes! im holding the prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in my grubby little hands, oh and a lovely award for the most spectacular failure of the day Mr. Green Hopefully we have more than 4 robots haha!

So yeah! first dedicated ant event and first NSW event away from 'home'. Exciting indeed!

Weather looks set to be mostly sunny with no chance of rain, so here's hoping that stays true. Any preference for the arena to be setup under cover or out in the yard? Ill be setting everything up tommorow Smile

So with all the formalities out of the way who's bringing what? Ive got a 4 wheeler and may slap a servo driven one together time permitting Smile

ANTWEIGHTS

- The penetron (mine)
- Nyant (angus)
- Arisama
- Canyonero
- Hugbot
- Andrews

Well i hope you all enjoyed that, i had a pretty good time at least Smile

Definitely surprised by the ant fights, some of em were great, especially the rumble! Mine was a bit lame but learnt alot of lessons for the next iteration Cool The serial space event should be pretty darn good for competitiveness given how rapidly the ants here have evolved i reckon!

Didnt get any proper videos but caught some funny moments on the top down cam, so ill have to edit them out and put them somewhere for some laughs Smile

And congrats to Angus for winning, and the hugbot crew for doing so well in their first comp, nice work! Jaemus did indeed take the medal of shamefail - bit jealous i didnt take that award! i loved it so much XD hopefully someone has vids of that moment Razz

And for those wondering here's the medals we did! Designed by mwah and cut out by Angus.




Ill have the scores up later!

Yes indeedy awesome fun event, havn't had such a good time at an event for a while... must be the nice backyard, you did an awesome job cleaning it up!

Some random photos from the day:
Glens built-like-a-featherweight antweight (and just as tough)


Nyant after suffering a catastrophic failure of the weapon disk when the motor rim broke off after a huge hit from canyonaro... Managed to fix it but needs a replacement...




Andrews hugely entertaining FBS Ashtray... It's teeth blew off near instantly but still managed to deal out the hits somehow!


Omnom hugbots wheels after being chewed on by ashtray.


Highlight of the day was having nyant's radio fail and it randomly firing to full speed on its own during the rumble and smashing into the roof then dying XD.
