The 12th is Saturday. Mother's Day is Sunday.
Abaddon is good to go. Will start another lamer robot, Oz Crawl. I have an appointment in the morning, but should be there by the second round. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I got the summons for saturday. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. I'll check with my brother.

Mum changed her mind and I'll be there.
Fury Jr and Vendetta Jr (the second best 150g ant in the world!!!!!)
I'll call Andrew and see if he is allowed to come.
I also want to try kicking bum about safety procedures. Both my robots should have failed safety inspection at RoboGames and it made me realise that none of our robots would actaully pass either. I think I only passed because of my accent and because I was studying how they did safety checks. I want to put everyone through the same checks and see how many of us pass.

Power lights are the main thing. Safety covers, power switches and fail safing are the other things. Also start up and shut down procedures and who powers up and shuts down first.
Sweet well should be a well populated event. I have flameant still running. I might enter a kitbot as well. Arena still needs a bit of work, but me and aaron should be able to get that sorted in the morning.
Miles and Jules are also looking at doing a fiberglassing demo and we will probably have a few guys there filming us.
