Hey All, finally have had a chance to reflect back on the past event! I don't think I slept for over 24hrs before it >_>!
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to all who were involved, especially those who helped with the arena stuff that setup on the night before was probably enough exercise for the rest of the year! I wasn't really impressed with how they only allowed setup to start so late and rushed us out so quickly... defo was the best thing on there!
Big thanks to Jake for helping out with the rounds and also Stevo and Aaron for flying down, i'll be returning the support for nats
Also cheers to Adrian for skillfully putting me to shame by driving my own robot to 2nd place XD look forward to seeing what designs you come up with!
I've got lots of good video which has all been sorted and named, but gave them to stevo to try uploading somewhere better than my appalling upload speeds, 720p.
Be on the look out for a possible Australian Popular Science article and maybe some others.
I know I owe some people some moneys (mostly jake?) so if you could shoot through what it is i'll sort that out asap.
Stevo, happy for you to move this to state specific now. Cheers everyone

I might have some video to upload soon - seems its not compatible with my current video editor & waiting for an update.
Adrain seemed to be right into the action and a really nice guy - is he signed up on the forum?
What happened to the music? I was getting right into that!

I thought you got told to dial it down- next time I'm going to be pushy and turn the volume back up!
how big is them F20A? would it make a decent 2in1 ant controller for the botbitz drives, compared to 2x of the usual ones? _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

Finally able to process and upload a couple of event videos now my video software is upgraded. The files are 720P quality and a bit big, I'd right-click & download rather than view directly:
Sorry about the shocking audio and only having a few clips - it was all shot on a very cheap camera with enough memory for 3 fights. The upgraded video editor is SO much better and faster that I am seriously looking at a semi-pro camera for the next event.
