The next AWS will be October November time, as there are three a year and the last was very late, as to where, who knows until we can find someone to organise with a venue. The whole process of organising and signing up will be in the events section of the forum I hope to make it if it isn't too fa...

Really cool - I'm enjoying this blog/log as someone new to the hobby myself. Have you got any videos you can put up (once you are happy?).

Thanks!

Hey Peter, do you have any videos of these nanobots? I'm having trouble picturing in my mind just how small they are in reality (pictures don't do justice I'm sure)

You've persuaded me! I'll build a flipper and go for the servo that Alex recommended

Would you be able to provide me advice on what motors and wheels to choose? If so, I would be up for that as long as it doesn'...

Hi all, I've got about a 4 week wait until I can get started on my robot, maybe a bit longer, so I'm keen to pick up an electronics / robotics kit that can fill some gaps in my knowledge and get me used to playing with electronics before the parts arrive (and, inevitably, breaking stuff that isn't t...

I'd been watching re-runs on Challenge, etc over the years but thought the sport had died off in favour of drones, etc, etc that were making television. Me and my partner were so excited when we saw it return to TV and a quick Google search proved to me that the community was very much alive! When i...
