Hello all.
Some time soon i'm gonna need to go dumpsterdiving for some thick chunks of steel. I'll probably talk to glen about it but thought i'd make a post as others may be in need of a similar thing, and maybe get a day organised. Plus it's funner if you do this sort of stuff as a group.
Maybe just a build meet or something.
Also had another idea, after this event, we should have another "robowars testing and stratergy" day, to fine tune our robots and share our event winning experience.
Well, not me personaly but heh.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

A Robowars testing day (or more than one) is a must - we can't let our winning streak go!

A build day (with dump. div?) before the next event would be great.
My bot will be finished but an extra motivational exercise would be a great help.

Just confirm the day and I will be there!

I'm available this sat and sun, perhaps we should make a day of it?
I sure know I want to see jff compete next event!

Just two weeks to the next event - who's going to make it? I will be there with Jolt and perhaps a demo of one of the new bots. It sounds like Chris and Andrew can't make it this time, so the list might start out like this:

Jolt
El Bravo - welcome return
Roadkill
Plan G
Cobra
Prometheus

Possibles:
Jeff Ferrara's Annhilator bot
TWI
Speedbump (or replacement)
Stealth

Eek that's not as long as i'd hoped!?
Roadkill's still stuffed, i need to get an angle grinder before anything can be done about the bent mount bolts.. so possibly...
Also, yr 12 is ghey.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

YOU think year 12 is ghey???

Think about how its going to be in 12 months, during the exams...GAH
Sorry english paper 2 today was....horrible is an understatement

I'll do my best to be there, i'll spend the 4 days between the end of my exams and the event trying to get the wheel mounts right.

So i should be there

we are a possible.
probbly going to get a new ESC
probbly RS80D or some such
any suggestions?
the sidewinder says it takes serial TTL input but i havent found any more info on that

The sidewinder is way more compact than the RS80D and has enough capacity for your drive motors. On the down-side, there is no BEC, although there is a place to wire one in. There is an internal header connector for a future SS radio, so if Chris Baron will share the specs of that, you would get it up & running pretty quickly. You might even be able to trade Chris back with a radio development...

@ Angus: perhaps we should put the event back a week and have a build day on the 4th? We can attack Roadkill with the angle grinder and get the other bots in better shape.

No need! Good news. Tripped to the hardware store and got a quarter hacksaw so i could cut the heads off the bolts. Fixed! Oh.. and the front wedge is now countersunk...
Just gotta re-make the top so that it doesn't get torn off lol.

Hmm... predicement.
Dad = out of town that weekend.

If Nick or Lindsay are able to give me a lift it would be much appreciated. I'll offer some cash to help pay for the ever increasing cost of petrol too!
I can reduce my bot parts to a small suitcase so getting two and from artarmon shouldn't be a problem.
