I would love to see the Semi Final fight with DTK again.

Im sure someone has it on video for you to watch, but if you can wait - there will be CD of all fights coming out soon, with most fights being mixed between 3 camera angles. And i can 100% say the Semi Final Fights do have 3 angles on them. Should be decent.

Cant wait to see the 3 camera angles of Alpha running away from Cutlet for most of the fight.

Nice driving Alan....but lets have a fight next time!

Running away, not much else i can do!

I would like to see the DTK/Pimp Semi again as well, i could of beat a 3 wheeled PIMP in the playoff!

I think that if the 4 frequencies for ants is to be implemented, it will need some statistical analysis of which frequency crystals are used most by ants, and which combinations feather builders have. I currently only have two sets of crystals for my future feather (having been advised that Ill probably never need 3 as long as I have an unusual one), and Ive seen both of mine suggested as ant only freqs by different people :sad: so maybe someone would like to do said analysis and see which four would be most suitable.

Well just to add to your list - my soon-to-be-bot (feather) will use 40.665 and 40.695 unless someone says it cant

First I would just like to say that the event in general was very good and that any problems with frequency clashes should not be blamed on those actually running the TX control who as has been stated above worked extremely hard. The problem as I see it from a slightly biased ANT weight perception is that there seems to be an inbuilt priority in robot competition which is directly proportional to the weight of the robot. I notice from the posts above that all the changes and restrictions are aimed the ants and none at the feathers. I can understand that the main part of the event had to be the feathers to keep the paying audience happy. But when in desperation we decided to run as much of our event in the lunch hour and I was just about to fight when my transmitter was taken back just so a feather who had turned up late could be tech checked I did feel a little agrieved. Also if one of the suggestions above which as I understand it is proposing to get the FRA to limit antweights 27Mhz is adopted I for one will be leaving post haste.

This was a great event, well done to all involved. Battles were great, food was great (nice pasties), the hammer was fun (more power next time).
We got to try Micro Mute 2 in both 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive (stupid stretchy chains), 4 wheel drive was much better. Some nice looking new feathers, thought odeon or odin or odo was robbed in the spinner frenzy.
