NSW onslaught onto Brisbane Nationals
Hello,
Thought it would be beneficial to start a thread in regards to the nationals event
Im still fairly keen to go. Hopeing to have warning finished with brushless drivetrain come end of august and start a second feather with some misc parts
Mainly starting this thread if locals r making the trek to co-ordinate travel and accomadation
I am planning to look online come this weekend at accomadation and if other locals are keen splitting sleeping arrangements via 3 plus people usually works out better
Also still tossing up driving with stops at pretty locations for site seeing or fly up and rent a vehicle
anywho, discuss definitely taking ants and a feather, will prob throw current beetle in but unsure if ill have time or motivation to do as complex design so worst case beetle wedge of un-testedness _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Pretty keen, it's during the mid semester break so might be able to make the escape from major project... Hopefully with one bot in each class. I wouldn't mind staying with Miles and Jules if offered or maybe we can find a share place similar to melb, that was awesome.

The missus is also keen to attend, will definitely be driving up in the van, so I can take a few hard-to-fly items up for other NSW travellers. Looking at getting Scissorhands back into fighting form and trying for an ant as well.

Steve might know something...
I found that clicking thru on the Google hotel links actually got me to hotels in Canada - what's with that?

I have a couple of sofa beds in Sunnybank, 30 minutes from Ipswich. But you'd need to like asian food.
