Robowars Ants at Marburg Show 3rd May 2014

Hi Guys…Are you guys ready for the first Ant weight event of the year?

Robowars qrsc have been asked to have some kind of demo /stall/event at the Marburg show…..like we did last year…

What does everyone think? …

I need to tell em yes or no by the 10th of april?

So last year we did Ants in the ant area……So I guess it will be that again…..I guess we can turn it into the first qrsc Ant event of the year…and just have an event as usual and if anyone from the public wants to watch they can.


We all get $20 petrol money each like last year…..so it won't cover hot dogs and dagwood dogs etc…..but we do get a public location …and who knows maybe we could get some new builder interested in robowars…and its an excuse to have an event.

If interested post here cause time is running out. Very Happy

So its robots with as much weaponry as you can cram into 150grams! flippers spinners wedges….are allowed …but probably not flame throwers as its indoors. Cool

I could send you the Green Ants nest to setup as well if someone is willing to Charge and swap the robots.

I'll look after the Green Ants Nest. We should run a sportsman ant comp in that arena rather than getting the proper ant arena off Andrew.

The Green Ant Nest has a sort of arena. There is a push together barrier which can be used by the bots have a tendency to escape.

Did you guys want these robots for the event? If so I will work on getting them all refurbed for it and set to aaron.

I'm getting the gate passes for the show sent to me this week and I'd like to know who is coming? I will be getting 6 passes total so should be more than enough for everyone.
Also we are getting the space that we were origionally planned to have last year which has more room and promised that the politician won't be taking our spot like last year. I just can't remember which spot that was.
We are also getting a bit of extra petrol money. We should be able to afford lunch too, maybe.
My brother's new bub arrives next weekend so I can grab the antweight arena off him when I go to visit, unless we organise something else first.

Did I forget anything?

Daniel can you PM me your address in toowoomba and I will post you all the antweight demo bots. Aaron can pick em up off you afterwards. They all should work but I have no idea what state the batteries are in.

So might need a bit of TLC before going on show. We should also get some cards printed. I can see if Anthony has time just need to know what we want on them.

Won't be about but should be fun day wasn't bad last year.


Steve.

I think the spot The organisers are talking about is the first stall (to the right) as you walk in the door. It should be better because everyone who walks into the room will see bots first. Very Happy

Are Scott and Tim coming? I can bring extra ants if you want to play.

Steve - Sure. And I still have too much spare time, so I can get them ready.

Philip - Last year I parked on the road and jumped the fence, so I'm not really sure what the passes are for. If they come with more information I'll pass it onto everyone.
I'll also get the start/setup time.
