I haven't done much with Marauder. It has been too cold at night in the shed and we have been looking at universities for Alex on the weekends. Alex wants to be a games designer.
I would make a simple wedge if I made a beetle so the build time would be short. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I was actually thinking the end of september or the start of october, but if your in a rush we can do it sooner. I was thinking of going to Dick Smiths and looking at baby RC cars that I bolt a dozer blade to the front of. My brother is the only one around here with proper small bot parts.
Would you like to do it in 4 weeks?
I'm keen for some feathers aaron. Just have to get off my lazy ass and build something. lol _________________ Steven Martin

QANTM University. That was the university I was going to go to for Games Programming, but they require 1/2 of the first years costs upfront. I believe the costs are around $16000 per year at QANTM. 2-3 year course depending what you do Located on like the 12th floor in Albert St (IIRC) Brisbane CBD..
I'm sure I can get Schmackhed back together for an event, I just have to finish the oil treatment and make some new motor mounts... _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Or you could do a bachelor of IT engineering majoring in games design from QUT. A four year course would cost around $24000 and can be done through a HECS-HELP loan so no up front fees except student guild fees. _________________ Get Some!!!

OT We looked at Griffith last weekend and we will go to the Quantum and the QUT on their respective days. Quantum would be good as they offer a two year course./OT
I bought a pair of RC cars today. I was going to mount a wedge and use them as push bots, but they couldn't push anything. I might have to cross over to the dark side and build a spinner.
Marauder should be working within the four weeks so I can bring it. There might be somewhere close by that will be suitable for a test. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
Not even any guild fees anymore. Hasn't been compulsory since halfway through last year. _________________ Steven Martin

My brother has more to discuss about big event plans. I'll set up the ant/beetle arena and we can also play with feathers.

I hope so. I'm going to a footy match @ Brisbane next weekend, but I don't know which day. I'll find out and get back.... Can you send me a SW cad of a 3.5oz paintball bottle? _________________ Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
