I finished my testing arena It's just big enough for 2 or 3 ants to have a rumble but the obstacles and layout should make fights more interesting. For a start the two ants don't start with a straight line to each other and there is minimal dropoff. The arena benefits flippers, grabbers and spinners really. It's a full polycarbonate front and lid too!

And Gimlis new steel gear to replace the ali one arrived. The ali gear is completely wrecked from the axe firing expecially after I finally ironed out all the bugs and got full power. I missed one of the targets during testing and it cracked a concrete slab.... Just need to get hold of a lathe and machine it right then Gimli should be quite a good bot to have fun with! I've just got to make sure that Gimli and Spur 1 are ready for their 2 events in september.
