Antweight World Series 44 - Brize Norton, Oxfordshire

[Eventorizon]

When we dismantled the arena on Sunday, there wasn't a pit.

Lots of wall slamming then

Wodge is done, sucks minor balls. Undercutter sucks major balls. The Great A'tuin just lacks any kind of balls lol.

[mrsam]

That's a shame Niels but hopefully you are able to make it to another at some point, good luck at the event.

Yeah sorry about the lack of a pit, I didn't have the time I'm afraid (and my angle grinder had a mishap which makes it awkward to use ATM). There will be one next time I assure you.

[PJ-27]

Just got to wire up, pray its in weight and then Spinza is good to go!

Dave, what's the +/- on the beetleweights? I have the world's least accurate scales and i fear both of mine are slightly over.

[Eventorizon]

In the featherweights you can be just 5g over in a 13.6kg bot... that is a mere 0.036%. So if you were 5g over in the beetles then it would be 0.333%. Ultimately its up to Dave but you will be have to be seriously close.

[mrsam]

Surely it depends on whether it's being treated as a serious beetle tournament or just a series of whiteboard fights? If it's just a few random fights maybe just allow slightly overweight bots to fight?

[PJ-27]

I think it's already been noted as 5g somewhere so best stick to that. The tolerance is more to allow for scale inaccuracies so the robot's total mass and what percentage of that 5g is doesn't really matter.

[duff]

Looks like in off to buy some more accurate scales then.... Either that or drilling lots of holes tomorrow morning!

Also, just to confirm I will defo have 2 beetles tomorrow. Hypernova and Holey Moley.
