New Vic Builder
Hey guys, so I've had a read of some of the threads and such, I have some experience in robotics, though I'm rather young. Wondering where local competitions are so I could check them out before I get into things, and everything I've read considered, I'd probably want to build FeatherWeights ^_^ again because I don't think I'll be building yet, I don't really have a budget, but thanks a lot for any direction and help, and I hope get involved in the community

host us with a proper arena for public events.
Just thought Id better correct that so people dont get the wrong idea. I talked with Barry, and he said he would *consider it, but hes also equally considering selling the arena to either one or a consortium of interested parties.
Someone mentioned the idea of several groups of builders buying 1 or more of the wall-panels themselves for use as single-sides in their own sheds/yards, with the possibilty of them coming together to assemble a full arena for a larger event. Sounds like a good idea to me, since it enables several groups to start having smaller non-public events themselves at a low cost for a safe wall while they develop their machines.
So, Events at SideTracked arent out of the question, but arent very likely at the moment.. maybe once they see how the field grows again, If someone hasnt bought the arena by then, Ill have a niggle in his ear and see if something could be done. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
