I was looking at the Robowars entrant list and noticed that the NSW contingent includes mostly new and untested builds (Jolt included) it would be a smart idea to get together the weekend before the event and have a non-lethal combat day to make sure all our construction is sound before we find out the hard way in Victoria.
There's nothing like a few pushy matches and hitting some logs around the arena to expose loose screws / weak welds / bad soldering etc. I for one will feel happier if I can test my bot in real conditions. Is anyone else interested? It would be great if we can get bots that are not going to robowars to ome along too... _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

I won't have a spare seat, but I should be taking a van down so I'll be able to transport some robots or spare parts if people want
We'd have to work out a meeting time or something the day before I head down, but I'll keep everyone posted. _________________ The Engine Whisperer

I may have p plates by then but driving that far by myself isnt a good idea as i wont be experienced to driving by myself and that and long distances and crap.

Also prong u still owe be 50$, i havnt forgotten _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

I'm in that boat too. Unable to afford it now $600 to go to an event without my own robot just kinda pushes the limits of this being a hobby to me. Maybe next year. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

I think I might take you up on that offer. One bot and some tools here and there. When do you plan on leaving ? _________________ Jeff Ferrara
