Funnily enough, I'm in the process of building a house in Roleystone.
I scrapped ICQ because of the spam, and don't currently have a chat system that I use.
I've downloaded your ruleset. What size of robots are in WA currently? I'm quite happy to throw an opponent together so we can see some action. Pretty sure I can get the two other builders from ACRA to put together a couple also. _________________ Struggling from the ashes of a fallen civilisation

The ACRA Website is no more (it was being hosted for free by a local ISP)
No, ACRA wasn't affiliated with any other local bodies (Actually, at the time it was happening, there were no other bodies to be affiliated
to

ok so after talking with glen its become clear that he cant get down to perth unless he flys down then flys back which would be to expensive...
so i guess we can scrap that plan.
@Andrew, could you get the other guys ACRA to log onto the forum? then we might be able to sort out a time for a get together or something.

Speaking of Avatars,
Could you please edit yours down in size a little bit (preferably to the 80x80 rule), since yours is wider than most peoples and it messes up the formatting of the pages somewhat. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

Ok, so if I wanted to make a basic competitor in the Featherweight scales, I'd probably be looking for Cordless drills for motive power, and perhaps a cordless drill motor running a Worm Drive for a flipper? Probaly go for light aluminium step sheeting or Polycarb for the chassis/armour. (Heck, wood would probably be good enough for the interior bracing, so long as you were able to stop external intrusion) _________________ Struggling from the ashes of a fallen civilisation
