Backyard Event Sun 23rd Nov
The last event was a great day, apart from me loosing my RC Controller.
This one will be run in a similar way, some upgrades to the arena, and some more pit area. If we had more bots it would have been squishy.
Everyone happy with the $10 entry, free BBQ arrangement?
Also we need someone to film for the day. I have a camera, I just need a camera man. _________________ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

I've just found that I'm not available on that day. I've got to be in the city from around 11:30am until around 1pm.

Hi all,
Could I get an idea on numbers for the event on the 23rd, if you are thinking of coming.
Do we have a volunteer for camera-man for the day?
Ill have the BBQ fired for snags, feel free to bring some meat of your own if you like. _________________ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

I'll see if I can make it this time, but its cutting it close, it will depend on whether my 'Dapter Chargers arrive in time..
IGs battery packs are being upgraded to A123's, so I needed a way to charge them.. they're on their way, but not here yet.. if they arrive in the next few days I might have time to get it running..
so cant promise anything now, but I'll try. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

Mat and I are comming. We have some new wheels to test in battle and hopefully RAW will have a new bite thanks to it's new weapon motor.

Was intending getting there but have been very busy lately and am behind on a lot of projects.
Ballistic is hopefully fixed. I had somehow neglected to put the extra heat sink on the XL when I robed the IBC out of him.
Hopefully he will go the distance now.
Worked out a possible fix for the ignition problems with Pyro but probably wont have time to build the parts.
Have almost got Maestro together again so hope to give him a test run.
Was planning on having Bender ready for a test for System Smash but lots to do.
New MiniMower as far of as ever but I have dug him out.
Can always show up with Bane 1 and 2.
Would like to give Skelly a run but he needs work to.
Talked to Russell today but he probably can’t be there. _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

Well, Fri morning and no sight of the 'dapters yet, so doesnt look like I'll be running there
I might pop in if I get a chance, but IG remains sleeping for now. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
