Like Matt my first event was the 2014 FW champs, i took the first version of Hatchet and it was absolutely awful but i learned so much and came back the following year with a really solid machine. There's a tonne of useful info on this forum and there's people willing to help at every stage, i'd say just go for it, build something simple and strong and you will learn a huge amount of the course of just a few days.

Hoping I can have something together in time for this. With any luck the wheels might not be pointing towards each other after two matches this time!

I remember Johnny 2x4! What a machine!

Best robot ever, i'm astounded it's not in the robot combat hall of fame yet.

But don't worry! Johnny 2X4 will be back!

As a cradle for the new machine!

What rules are we running for clusters this year? Is it one part out/whole robot out or percentage weight based?

Any news on the applications? Would love to come over with our newly build featherweight but hesitant to book the hotel and ferry without confirmation of participation.
