Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Everything's started to come together quite nicely now with a good line up of robots (Razer, Beta) on display to take a good look at. I'll up date you with some more info shortly once confirmed, but if your interested in lipo's at all it's worth keeping your eye open.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Which day will razer and beta be there?
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
I'm sure they're there for both days.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Me and Jason will be there on the Sunday...might be able to do the saturday but work dictates that. will bring along Chuck and Yank. Looking forward to it.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
For those that haven't seen, the FRA Heavyweight awards will also be presented at this event (I believe the Saturday afternoon/evening?) along with the featherweight awards. So an excuse for a few of the heavyweight teams to pop along.
Shame I cant' make the Sunday, else I would of been tempted to blow the cobwebs off Alpha, and try to have retired it once and for all!
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Really pleased you will be here Alan to create the FRA awards.
The arena is open on the saturday for whiteboards or testing however that will be in blocks between the workshops in the day. I will be finalising the timetable very soon with more news to come so keep posted.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Awesome news on Razer and Beta being there, always wanted to see those machines up close. No Warhead? Spose I can look at Predator......
Glad there's whiteboards on Sat.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Just a quick one to inform you that the Owner/Director from OptiPower Lithium batteries will be attending on the Saturday to help out with the Lipo talk that I will be doing. Andy has huge experience with these batteries and has a huge amount of knowledge to pass on, such as how the the C ratings on packs actually match up to the performance you get from them?
I'm really pleased to see Andy able to make it - and even happier to announce the he has very kindly offered a 30% discount on batteries to all FRA member's. Batteries can be collected on the day if you let me/him know before hand.

Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Grant that would be very interesting for me to see his talk on them as you know. But it's on the Saturday..I will have another chat with you on the Sunday about the batteries and if I am happy then can I purchase with the discount or is it pre orders only.
Re: Robo Challenge Open Day & FRA FW Awards 2012
Shane, no problem at all - the discount is a permanent thing so you can order them anytime at all. Sadly Andy is only available to make the Saturday. We'll let everyone know how to order the discounted packs shortly :)
