Ahhhh... Totally forgot about the polycarbonate. I was only thinking of the rust :p

@Rotwang - Thanks for the tips!
I have a small (6040) CNC engraver I have modified. I don't use CAD very often but it's reasonably good at cutting aluminium. I don't have welding equipment but have access to it. So I guess that puts me somewhere in between?

Most of the tools I have at home are for PCB design and reworking. I can design and develop PCBs including firmware.

I noticed a lot of people use Arduino. I have no experience with these devices. Typically I use TI, NXP or Cypress micros. I also use boards such as the BBB, rPi and ODroid.

ha ha ha ha! I like keeping you lot in suspense. I have ideas on how I plan on putting my bot together but nothing in concrete yet. No plans on the weapon though.

Is sportsman class the same as gentlemen class?

Wow! That's a lot of bots. Thanks for the links. I'm still trying to work out where stuff is hiding.
How many of those would still be active today? There are a lot that have not competed in over 10 years.

No offence people but the main web site and forum are in desperate need of improvement.

Removal of Flash!
Change the dark blue on black image map in the forums

I can help out if you want.

I agree on the flash buttons (They seemed like a good idea when I first set it up 10 years ago ! Smile ), and an updated image map up the top there, but they're just a couple of cosmetic things.

Tim wants to revamp the whole site, which Im uncertain about. since I havent seen anything in phpBB3 that will justify the large amount of work, and possible database loss that migrating could cause, and this one has been dead-reliable, whereas a lot of phpBB3 sites require regular patching to keep them online, since (Like Wordpress) it gets attacked a lot.

Im considering it, but wont be for a few weeks, possibly combined with a webhost move, and not until after the nationals are over, so as not to potentially interrupt communications prior/during that event.

Anyway, this isnt the thread to discuss it in, If any potential web-revampers want to create a new thread discussing what you have in mind, feel free.
