Bwah! HSC; overated, Just use the valuable exam time to design bots!
Wish I thought of that back then! I remeber my maths exam was a hoot. Maths always put me to sleep so at the exam there was no point at all worrying about it so I just breezed through completely stress free and ended up with 35%! Genius!
Seriously, no worries, as long as you don`t mind another event two weeks after that.
Or
August 13, then move Aug. 27 to Sep.3. Then theres Sep. 24.
Have a look at your callendars guys and see if we need to move more or skip one.

hmm, ok. I dont actualy HAVE a featherweight at the moment so i don't really care... Whens the one after? Because i think it would be pretty close (week after maybe lol)
I wouldnt mind another build day then in between, where i could pick up the scooter motor setups from nick and bring my working (should be) beetle for a good fun day (and i would much apreciate it if i could get some help making up some drill trigger controlers, as i don't think you can run scooter motors at 24v using microswitches )
Oh, and i wish alot of good luck to glen, jeff, andrew and all the others who are doing they're trial HSC's. _________________ ( •_•)

i reckon they might be right on microswitches, the motors are apparently 8amps stall and drills would load them up way more than that.
and thanks, i sincerly hope no job interviewing people look at the HSC, or im screwed (well not really as i probably wont get a job being such an awesome slacker mwuha) _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

Jeff's proposed dates work out for me too - I managed to catch all my leave forms and change them to the new dates. After today, I won't be able to reschedule the next three events.
This gives me a good chance to have Mini Jolt finished too - I'm really hoping to turn up with more than one robot at last. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Hi guys,
As you might have heard, I am out of work and that means I will either have a heap more time for competitions (if I can't find anything) or I might be way to busy to do anyting (if there are some good IT contracts around).
Also, I won't be able to post up as much video, although I can still edit everything and I might not have a camera available.
With about 2 weeks to go, how ready is everyone to go? Chris is already set and I hear that plan F might be ready - how about the rest of the crew? _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Well, i discovered a stash of 10mm mdf, so i may be making a wood and steel bot. Failing that, i'll just come to watch. I doubt i can get a beetle done either, sorry! _________________ ( •_•)

That is sad news, Nick. Keep your chin up. Something will turn up for you. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
