I should be done next week.
I have no specific dates booked.
Lets get jaemus in as well.
They probably built the spindle the same as the last one with the spindle bearings aligned rather than opposing, as soon as it touched the steel it made bad noises then we could wobble the spindle shaft by hand. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

I'm good for 28/3, 11/4 and 25/4 (Anzac weekend). 11/4 would be ideal.
I stopped working on it a week ago because I knew I wasn't going to get it done in time. So I lost a week of progress but I did spent it further refining the CAD (read: started from scratch again, lol) _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

That is enough to run an event for the 21st.
If you will 100% have a bot ready for the 28th, we can always fall back to that date, however we will be losing Steve, so we need to ensure you will have a robot to make up the 4th spot _________________ Team Knightrous
I am easy either way. I have event planning to work on just let me know.

And since we are only getting a tiny turn out, I've dropped the cash prizes back.

Yeh going to be very much a struggle to make the 9am start. But will have my shitty repaired bot which will hopefully last a round or two.
We can wait for you. Or not

That will probably be the case when I weigh it tonight and find it's 13.6kg and I've mistakenly built a featherweight _________________ Team Knightrous

Weather is looking to be a problem, it's rained here twice this afternoon and currently spitting. Forecast is 60% chance for 1-5mm of rain :/
I'm currently trying to keep the arena dry, but can't promise it wont get damp during the night.
Should we postpone till better weather or should we risk it?
