I have two desks lined together in my flat to form a wall of table for varying computers, printers (which rarely work), several monitors (more than one computer, and all have more than one monitor attached) and they've lasted about 10 years so far with no major issues, bit of veneer coming off. I have however tested something, I've drilled a hole in the bottom of one of the tables to verify they're solid, as some new IKEA stuff has been found to have thin layers of wood at the top and bottom, but the insides are actually packed with cardboard rolls. It's possible these tables were made before that practice came into action though, and if i was to get the same now, they'd be the cardboard packing type. I'm certainly thinking using a suitably sized table as the floor, and then building a polycarbonate shield around the legs of the table(s). So there is still a moat / drop before the polycarb for pushing and flipping out - but they'll be caught under the table surface so won't fly off under the table and nibble little Timmy's ankles. Using a table also provides the off the floor level required for convenient watching and placing in and out of the arena.Originally Posted by team death
I'm definitely wanting to try doing some fun stuff, of course have the head to head battles, but do lots of fun 'because we can' little games on the side.
Money is again and unsurprisingly the main issue i am facing.
A bit of a radical solution I am thinking of, is perhaps it is worth setting up a collective of Roboteers, and together work towards buying a shared arena, for use by anyone part of the group as they need, and we all go about with this one (plus probably another few for the mini games). Doing this, the costs are split, and no one person owns anything, it's for anyone to use anywhere they want, and start little events across the nation. Bringing fun to roboteers where ever they are, with this little shared bit of kit - instead of waiting and hoping one of the main events goes near them.
Thoughts on that?
