Thanks for another great event Jonno, I really enjoyed it, was knackered by the end, as I'm sure you were

I'm glad you liked the ants, they willbe a regular feature at all Roaming Robots events from now on, and its nice to get a mention

Hopefully we can have them on the big screen next time, what happened there anyway ? The screens just wouldn't stay up...

yeah, i made some new brackets to fit on some new wind up stands, however it was blowing a gale for 3 days in Nottm before portsmouth and didnt have a lot of time, so couldnt test them, just need a bit more support. So couldn't get them up !! excuse the pun !! LOL

Yes was very impressed, and thankyou again for your help setting up, and taking down !! As always much appreciated !!

Will be sorted for maidstone !!

Yes, a big thanks from us as well for the great site given to the antweight arena. We tried to stay running all day, between the main arena fights.

When the screens get sorted then there will be something for the audience to watch between the big fights.

I'm encouraging all antweight roboteers to build run all day bots, a bit like your battle rats John. The basic rule is that they can be overweight with a 9V Duracell in them, but enough underweight without the 9V battery to allow for a small LiPo battery.

A 9V Duracell lasts for over two hours of fighting time, and as long as the parts are open to the air then they don't overheat.
